Grenoble Foot 38, often simply called Grenoble, is a French football club based in the Alpine city of Grenoble, competing in Ligue 2. They play at the Stade des Alpes. Founded in 1997 following the dissolution of the original club, GF38 wears blue and white. The club's history has been one of volatility, with a rapid rise to Ligue 1 in the late 2000s being a highlight, though their stay was brief. Since then, Grenoble has been a fixture in Ligue 2, known for being a tough, organized side that is difficult to beat, particularly at home in the mountains. The modern era sees them consistently aiming for top-half finishes and occasionally flirting with promotion playoffs. The club has a dedicated local fan base that creates a lively atmosphere at the Stade des Alpes. Grenoble represents a solid, community-focused club with aspirations to once again reach the heights of French football.
