From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grenoble Foot 38 is a French football club from the city of Grenoble which competes in the second level of the French football league system. They wear white and blue.
[edit] History
The club was founded in 1892 as Football Club de Grenoble. In 1997, a merger of Olympique Grenoble Isère and Norcap Olympique led to the Grenoble Foot 38 incarnation. Olympique Grenoble Isère played in Ligue 1 in the 1960–61 and 1962–63 seasons.
It was acquired in 2004 by the Japanese enterprise Index which soon built it a new stadium, Stade des Alpes, that registered an initial capacity of 20,000, and which was opened on February 2008, after which it achieved promotion to Ligue 1 in the 2008–09 season.[1] However, after losing their first eleven games of the season, Grenoble were eventually relegated despite a handful of impressive wins (most notably 4–0 against Paris Saint Germain).
