It’s not often you meet your neighbors after traveling thousands of miles across a continent to watch a soccer match, but Bodø/Glimt is not your usual soccer team.

Can unlikely challenger Bodø/Glimt, from northern Norway and full of surprises, be the European season’s highlight as the side seeks to topple Tottenham Hotspur?

Like having a rotating cast of eight captains to share leadership duties. Like when the players gather into a circle — Mannsverk calls it the “Bodø/Glimt Ring” — after conceding a goal to discuss what happened and maintain solidarity. Like the players having no specific targets, apart from being the best version of themselves.
