FC Grenoble, a pioneer that went through Pro D2
Founded in 1892, FC Grenoble Rugby is one of the oldest clubs in France. Champion of France in 1954, finalist in 1993, it has since experienced promotions and relegations over the seasons. It won the Pro D2 in 2012, which opened the doors to the top flight, before later returning to the second division. The club plays its matches at the Stade des Alpes, a venue of about twenty thousand seats surrounded by the mountains that frame the city, a unique setting in French rugby.

Direct promotion, access match: the system
The Pro D2 includes sixteen professional clubs that compete in home and away matches. The top six compete in the final stages: the winner of the final is promoted directly to the Top 14, while the runner-up plays a access match against the thirteenth in the top flight. This format keeps the suspense alive until the final day, as a sixth place can be enough to dream of promotion. Historic clubs like Grenoble face smaller towns, making every away game a regional showcase.
Child home and away jerseys: what size
The child jerseys of FC Grenoble come in home versions, in the club's red and blue colours, and in away versions. Sizes are shown by age, but the actual height in centimetres remains the reliable reference, as two children of the same age can wear sizes two apart. A bit of room in the chest allows for an extra season of use. The Kombat Pro away jersey, the version worn by the players, has a close-fitting cut and stretchy fabric: it should be taken in the exact size, or one size up for the stands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the colours of FC Grenoble?
Red and blue, the traditional colours of the club since its founding at the end of the nineteenth century. The home jersey honours them, with the club badge on the chest.
What happened during the 1993 final lost by Grenoble?
Grenoble lost to Castres on a try awarded when a Grenoble defender had touched the ball first. The referee acknowledged his mistake years later, which made this final famous.
Is the Kombat Pro jersey machine washable?
Yes, at 30 degrees, inside out, without fabric softener or dryer, which damage the stretchy fibres and the heat-sealed markings. Its synthetic fabric dries quickly in the open air.
Is the Pro D2 a professional league?
Yes, it is the second professional division of French rugby, organised by the National Rugby League just like the Top 14. Its clubs employ players under professional contracts, alongside young talents trained on site.
Since when has the Pro D2 existed?
The name Pro D2 appeared in 2000, when the National Rugby League created a second professional division. It has formed, along with the Top 14, the two tiers of professional French rugby.
