Grenoble Foot 38, commonly referred to as simply Grenoble, is a French association football club based in Grenoble, a city situated at the foot of the French Alps. The original incarnation of the club was founded in 1892 and, in 1997, was formed into the club that exists today as a result of a merger. Grenoble currently plays in CFA, the fourth level of French football, after having gone into bankruptcy and relegation to the fifth level of French football in 2011.
Grenoble plays its home matches at the Stade des Alpes, a recently-built complex based in the heart of the city. The team is managed by Olivier Saragaglia. Grenoble wear white and blue.
Famous quotes containing the word foot:
“When I visit again some haunt of my youth, I am glad to find that nature wears so well. The landscape is indeed something real, and solid, and sincere, and I have not put my foot through it yet.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
