A major European football match has been suspended after fans reportedly fell through the stand as the stadium suffered a partial collapse. The incident happened during the first half and the game remains delayed.

The Northern Norway derby between Tromso and Bodo/Glimt was stopped around 40 minutes into the first half with the score tied at 0-0 after a section of the stands at Alfheim collapsed.

According to reports, the stand where Bodo/Glimt supporters were standing collapsed and several people fell through. It is not yet clear how serious any injuries are.

Ambulances have been called to the scene and both players returned to the dressing room. While Bodo/Glimt fans were evacuated from the away stand.

Bodo/Glimt goalkeeper Nikita Haikin waved frantically at the referee to stop the game as a message on the Norwegian station TV 2 read: "The match is temporarily suspended due to an accident in the stands"
