Historic Trade for Tickets to Bodo/Glimt Match

The story of Sbylas is an incredible tale from the world of sports. Two men from Norway managed to get tickets to the historic match between the teams Budo and Glimt, in exchange for a half of dried fish and the meat of a northern reindeer.

Exceptional football fans from Norway held an unusual exchange to find themselves in the stands during their favorite teams' matches. They exchanged 15 kilograms of dried fish and meat of a northern reindeer for two tickets to the game.

This was a genuine challenge for Norwegians, as Budo and Glimt compete in the Norwegian Premier League. The lesser-known Budo club faced off against the Glimt leader, and it was very difficult to obtain tickets for the match.

One of the participants in this unique deal shared his impressions: "We were ready for anything to find ourselves in the stadium. This has been our dream, and we happily exchanged fish and meat for the tickets. They were of that quality".

This story became a real hit on social media and generated admiration among football fans around the world. It turned out that the passion for football and the readiness to take local steps depend heavily on the country and culture.
