Bodo/Glimt have urged their supporters to avoid wearing Arsenal shirts and scarves for their Europa League game on Thursday evening.
Mikel Arteta’s side sealed a comfortable 3-0 victory over the Norwegian club at the Emirates Stadium last week and have now travelled to the Arctic Circle for the return fixture.
Arsenal have a strong following in Norway, while their captain Martin Odegaard is skipper for the national side.
But Bodo/Glimt has asked fans who are watching the game at the Aspmyra Stadion to not wear Arsenal-branded clothing.
A message from Bodo/Glimt to their club’s supporters read: ‘Arsenal items are prohibited in the home section.

‘There are many Arsenal supporters in Norway and many have both Glimt and Arsenal close to their hearts. Therefore, we see it as appropriate to remind that Arsenal effects are only allowed in the away section.
‘This means that we will ask you to remove scarves, caps, t-shirts, jackets etc. if these have the Arsenal logo or similar on them.

‘However, we make an exception for match scarves or half’n half scarves as this has become a common thing in stadiums around the world. Half’n half scarves are the only exception.
‘PS! There will be some areas on the long sides where Arsenal are entitled to tickets. In these areas and from their guests, we will accept away effects.’
