About Bodø/Glimt
Fotballklubben Bodø/Glimt, also referred to as Bodø/Glimt or its former name Glimt, is a Norwegian professional football club from the city of Bodø in Bodø Municipality, Nordland county, Norway. The club currently plays in Eliteserien, the Norwegian top division. The club was founded in September 19th, 1916.
Club Achievement
Bodø/Glimt are four-time champions in Norway after winning the 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2024 Eliteserien seasons. They also have won the now defunct Northern Norwegian Cup nine times, and the Norwegian Cup twice. They were the first team from northern Norway to win a national title by winning the cup in 1975, the first team from the region to win the national league and also the northernmost European club to win a national league competition.
Current Situation
Glimt is known for its yellow kits and the huge yellow toothbrushes that its supporters carry to the matches — a supporter symbol from the 1970s. After being promoted to the top flight ahead of the 2018 season, the club has experienced the greatest success in its history, winning the league championship four years in five seasons, reaching the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League in 2022, and the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League in 2025, becoming the first Norwegian club to reach the last four of a European club competition. Bodø/Glimt qualified for the league phase of the UEFA Champions League for the first time the same year, becoming the northernmost team to ever play in that stage of the competition.
