A.S.D. Giallo-Blu Figline is an Italian association football club located in Figline Valdarno, Tuscany. Currently it plays in Eccellenza Toscana group B.
Founded in 1965, Figline always played in the amateur leagues until 2008, being promoted to Serie D in 2006 and then winning a second promotion as 2007–08 Serie D/E champions, thus achieving 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.
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 will now join Lega Pro Prima Divisione in the 2009–10 season.
On July 2010 the club was declared inactive to the FIGC after being refused entry to the Lega Pro Prima Divisione because of the large debts.
On August 2010 thanks to the Municipality A.S.D. Giallo-Blu Figline is the new team of the city.
Since the season 2010–11 it plays in Eccellenza Toscana group B.
