Tromso IL is again fighting for glory in the top flight of Norwegian football, currently fourth in the table on 51 points, recently securing a strong 4-3 away win vs. 2nd placed Viking. Viking are just one point above, with Bodo Glimt, another North Norwegian club, four points in front, as they are the favourites to win.
But this story is about Tromso IL, with strong traditions and that special game vs. Chelsea in 1997, playing at home, as the snow at the Alfheim Stadium helped them to a remarkable 3-2 win.
