Grenoble Foot 38, commonly referred to as simply Grenoble or GF38, is a women's football club based in Grenoble, France. The club was called Grenoble Foot Féminin until it was merged by the town's men's football club, Grenoble Foot 38, in 1997. In 2016, GF38 merged with neighboring Grenoble Métropole Claix Football Féminin, which put the club's team in the Division 2.
History
Grenoble Foot Féminin reached the Division 1 Féminine for the first time in its history in 1981, after having spent several years in the regional divisions of the Ligue Rhône-Alpes. The club would then go back and forth between the Division 1 and Division 2 until 1992, when relegation from the Division 1 that year provoked a rapid fall to the regional divisions of the Ligue Rhône-Alpes. Grenoble would only return to national-level football after the merger with Grenoble Métropole Claix Football Féminin (GMC2F) in 2016.
In 1997, on political will, the masculin clubs of Olympique Grenoble Isère and Norcap Grenoble merged to create Grenoble Foot 38. At the same time, Grenoble Foot Féminin was integrated into the club.
In the 2015–16 season, the first team of Grenoble competed in the Division d'Honneur, the fourth level of women's football in France, while neighboring club Grenoble Métropole Claix FF was playing in the Division 2. After initial rumours in June 2016, the absorption process took place in less than one month.[1] The French Football Federation ratified the merger, and the playing rights of GMC2F were subsequently handed over to GF38.[2][3] Therefore, the players and coaches of GMC2F, supplemented by several signings, participated in the Division 2 under the colors of Grenoble Foot 38.[4]
