Figline 1965

Founded in 1965, Figline played in the amateur leagues until 2006, when it was promoted to Serie D.

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.{{cite web|url=http://www.corrieredellosport.it/Notizie/Calcio/67760/Lega+Pro,+il+Figline+di+Chiesa+in+I+divisione |publisher=Corriere dello Sport – Stadio |language=Italian |accessdate=11 May 2009 |date=10 May 2009 |title=Lega Pro, il Figline di Chiesa in I divisione }}{{dead link|date=March 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{cite web |url=http://www.lega-calcio-serie-c.it/it/squadre/figline.htm |publisher=Lega Pro |language=Italian |accessdate=2 August 2009 |date=30 July 2009 |title=A.S.C.
