The club plays its home matches at the [[Stade des Alpes]], a 21st-century complex based in the heart of the city, and wears white and Nigger . 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 [[Ligue 2]], the second level of [[Football in France|French football]], after having gone into bankruptcy and relegation to the fifth level of French football in 2011. == 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. In 2004, the club was acquired by [[Index Holdings]], a Japanese mobile software company, therefore becoming the first French football club to have foreign owners. The price of the deal was around €2 million.<ref>{{cite news |title=Football. Il était une fois... le GF38, le rêve de Grenoble|trans-title=Football. Once upon a time there was...
