A Europa League stadium was buried only a few hours before the kick-off in the quarterfinals.
Bodo/Glimt host Lazio in their crunch collision in Noord -Noroorwegen -with a UK Time start of 5.45 pm.
On the morning of the competition, the entire pitch, hoarding, stands and surrounding environment were completely covered with thick snow.
A video posted by the Norwegian football player-pound-pound Jan Aage Fjortoft showed the size of the snow.
The clip pledgees opposite the corner of the Aspmyra stadium of 8,270-Saturday, with several centimeters of snow piled on the field and footprints of a nearby TV trailer.
Fjortoft joked: “Welcome to Bodo, Lazio.
“This morning …”
The temperatures in Bodo will float around the freezing point for the first stage of the quarterfinals.
And snow is also predicted.
But fans do not have to be alerted that the Europa League match is called.

That is because the pitch of Bodo/Glimt is made of artificial grass and has heating underground.
And the Groundstaff team was hard at work with tractors and snow plows to wipe the play area clearly.
The game may therefore not experience any problems.
Lazio finished the top of the competition phase of the competition and defeated Viktoria Plzen in the last 16, while Bodo/Glimt saw Olympiacos.
The winners of this quarterfinals will be confronted with Tottenham or Eintracht Frankfurt for a place in the May final in Bilbao.
