After Røde Stjerne were too strong in Belgrade on Wednesday, Bodø/Glimt was sent down to level number two in a European context, namely the Europa League. Glimpse supporters had to watch as the Serbs drew the likes of Barcelona, Inter, AC Milan and Benfica. But the yellow guys from Bodø can’t draw little boys either. Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Porto, Rangers, and the list goes on. In addition, you can meet former opponents in AZ Alkmaar, Besiktas and Ajax. The old ring fox José Mourinho is also lurking behind the scenes with his Fenerbache. The man who controversially got Bodø/Glimt eliminated from the Serie Liga in 2022. The draw for the Europa League starts at 13:00, and we will update the matter continuously. The draw for Molde for the Serie Liga begins at 2:30 p.m. These teams Bodø/Glimt can meet in the Europa League All teams draw two teams from each pot. Pot 1: Roma Manchester United Porto Ajax Rangers Frankfurt Lazio Tottenham Slavia Prague Pot 2: Real Sociedad AZ Alkmaar Braga Olympiacos Lyon PAOK Fenerbahçe M. Tel-Aviv Ferencváros Pot 3: Qarabağ Galatasaray Viktoria Plzeň Bodø/Glimt Union SG Dynamo Kyiv Ludogorets Midtjylland Malmö Pot 4: Athletic Club Hoffenheim Nice Anderlecht Twente Beşiktaş FCSB RFS Elfsborg Bodø/Glimt will draw two teams from each pot. Home and away matches against each team are over. Instead, eight games will be played against eight different teams, four at home and four away. Photo: UEFA Fears Aspmyra Dag Langerød is an editor in Manchester United’s Scandinavian supporters’ club. He says that he fears that if Manchester United end up at Aspmyra in the autumn, and perhaps also closer to winter, then it could be difficult. – That is the fear, because Bodø/Glimt have shown over many years that they can beat anyone at home. I don’t think United are any better than it is for them too, on a bad day. Glimt has previously played against the big club Arsenal at Aspmyra and at the Emirates, and it ended with a narrow loss at “Myra”, 0–1. Langerød says that Kjetil Knutsen has good control at Glimt, and that there is a slight contradiction in what he sees in his own club. Dag Langerød is not so sure that the giant Manchester United will sweep over Bodø/Glimt. Especially not on Aspmyra. Photo: United.no – They are what you can call a well-functioning club. You can’t always say the same about United. Then the question is how to attack such a fight. If you put in January, snow on the pitch artificial grass … traveling to Aspmyra is not easy. If Manchester United were to lose against a Norwegian club in an important match, he is afraid they would have heard about it for many years afterwards. – But do you think that teams in Europe and England are starting to realize that Norwegian teams are not walkovers? – Absolutely. Just look at what happened to Manchester United last season in the Champions League, where we lost to both FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray, and finished last in the group stage. Those teams are not too far away from Glimt, so anything can happen. If the Red Devils draw Bodø/Glimt at Aspmyra, it may well be that Langerød gets on a plane to Bodø. – It would have been great fun to bring along. These are matches we talk about for decades afterwards, and these are the moments where life is about. Molde went out of the Europa League’s last qualifying round against Sweden’s Elfsborg on Thursday evening. Photo: Adam Ihse/TT / NTB Had to make do with the Serieliga The Serieliga, or Conference League, as the tournament is called in English, is the one that Molde will prepare for in the autumn. That after the team dramatically lost against the Swedish team Elfsborg on penalties on Thursday evening. In the same way as in the Europa League and the Champions League, the Serie Liga will have a new league game. Here, however, the teams will only play six games, three at home and three away, against six different teams. Here, the team from Romsdal can meet big teams such as Chelsea, FC Copenhagen and Fiorentina. Molde can meet these teams in the Serieligaen. Each club draws one team from each pot.
