Bodo/Glimt has been a football curiosity for foreign media in recent years. This year, it's time to stop underestimating the club north of the Arctic circle, and now journalists will find out how the success in the Europa League is possible. Previously, CNN, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal have served their readers with the story of the Bodo/Glimt phenomenon, before the second Europa League semi-final against Tottenham at Aspmyra, on May 8, foreign journalists flock to Bodø to take the pulse of the small town and the club with the big heart and commitment. Bodo/Glimt's media manager reports a large influx of media from all over the world. Simen Pedersen, media manager, says they have received inquiries from media houses in South Korea, India, many countries in Europe, in addition to several major players in the USA. The French major newspaper L’Equipe is already in place in Bodø to follow the Norwegian club into the Europa League semi-finals. And it's not just L’Equipe that's in place, also BBC, The Observer, and The Guardian are coming here this weekend to do the same. Bodo/Glimt is now making a name for itself all over the world and it's just a matter of fastening your seatbelt. The whole world is aware that it could be a new football bomb on the go, where Bodo/Glimt does as against Lazio, and passes the last two Tottenham hurdles into the final in UEFA's second-highest league. For the home game against the Premier League club, around 100 accredited journalists are expected, which has made the Glimt gang turn around and build new seats in the stands to accommodate everyone.
