A FAN has been rushed to hospital after several people fell through a collapsed stand during a football match in Norway.
The match between Tromsø and Bodø/Glimt was suspended in the 41st minute as emergency teams raced over to help the supporters.
Stands were immediately evacuated as the players were rushed into the changing rooms after the referee halted the match.
The shock collapse at Alfheim happened at 3.12pm – with the score tied at 0-0 in the Northern Norway derby.
The section of the stands where Bodø/Glimt supporters stood behind one goal suddenly gave way.
As many as five people fell through and one was taken to hospital, Glimt’s spokesperson Simen Pedersen told local media outlet VG .
Pedersen reportedly confirmed the fan taken to hospital was conscious.
Police will reportedly investigate the incident which happened in the stand where around 600 away fans were sectioned.
The match restarted at 4pm at the 43rd minute and Ola Brynhildsen immediately put Bodø/Glimt up 1–0.
The two sides were meeting in a game in Norway’s top league the Eliteserien.
Bodø/Glimt, who are in the Champions League, sit top of the table with Tromsø, who are in the Europa Conference League, are sixth.
Reigning Norwegian champions Bodø/Glimt have won just one of four games in the Champions League this season.
They narrowly lost 4-3 to Scott McTominay’s Napoli side last month before being smashed 5-0 to Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich.
They pulled off a major upset against Bayern’s main rivals in Borussia Dortmund on October 14 by beating the German giant 1-0 at home.
