During the match against Besiktas on 26 October, racist calls were allegedly made towards a Besiktas player. The shouts that took place must have come from a row where an unnamed company had bought tickets for this single match. – The company is in no way directly associated with Bodø/Glimt as a partner. The person is also not a regular season ticket holder, the club writes in a press release. Yesterday it became known that several Glimt supporters will also be banned due to the use of flares during matches during the autumn. Banned for 30 matches On December 6, the sanction was sent to the person who made the chants during the match. The club has dealt with the case and concluded that the person has behaved in breach of Glimt’s cooperation regulations and sanctioning regulations, including point 5. The point involves serious harassment, or hate speech based on ethnicity, religion or orientation. The person has been banned for 30 matches from being in the audience at the Aspmyra stadium during training matches and official matches under the auspices of Bodø/Glimt’s A-team. This is the most severe sanction in the club’s sanctioning regulations. – Takes this type of incident very seriously, Bodø/Glimt writes in the press release on their website that they will take an active stance against racism that is expressed in connection with their events. – The club takes this type of incident very seriously, and it is crucial to take an active stance against racism and all forms of racist speech and stance expressed in connection with the club, players, referees, the public and employees or events. – We clarify that there is zero tolerance for racism at our events. No one must be in doubt that racism has nothing to do at Aspmyra, or in society in general, the club writes further.
