History

A.S. Calcio Figline

Founded in 1965, Figline played in the amateur leagues until 2006, when it was promoted to Serie D. It won a second promotion as 2007–08 Serie D/E champions, thus attaining a spot in the Lega Pro Seconda Divisione for the 2008–09 season; both promotions came with Leonardo Semplici as head coach and attacking midfielder Anselmo Robbiati, formerly of Internazionale and Fiorentina, as captain.[2]

In their first professional campaign, the Tuscans were joined by another player with past and significant Serie A experience, former Fiorentina, Siena and Italy international Enrico Chiesa. The season immediately saw Figline as a serious contender for the league title, and on 10 May, despite losing 1–0 in a Tuscan derby to Colligiana, Figline mathematically won the 2008–09 Lega Pro Seconda Divisione – B title in a second consecutive triumph for the gialloblu, who subsequently attempted to join Lega Pro Prima Divisione in the 2009–10 season but were refused entry due to large debts.[3] [4] [5] The club was subsequently declared inactive to the FIGC.

A.S.D. Giallo-Blu Figline

In August 2010, with support from its municipality, A.S.D. Giallo-Blu Figline was formed as the city's new team.[6] Since the 2010–11 season it has played in Eccellenza Toscana group B.
