'''Amicale FC''' (for sponsorship reasons also Digicel Amicale FC) was an association football club from Port Vila, Vanuatu. They played in the highest level in Vanuatu, the Premia Divisen and played in the continental OFC Champions League. The club has reached and lost the finals of the 2010–11 and 2013–14 OFC Champions League, both times against Auckland City. They were sponsored by Digicel Vanuatu and Hyundai Motor Company.

In August 2019, the club disbanded due to a fine of 6,000 Swiss francs imposed by FIFA in connection with the FIFA Transfer Matching System.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://oceaniafootballcenter.org/2019/12/20/the-truth-behind-amicales-fine/ |title=The truth behind Amicale’s fine |last=Amadeu |first=Pedro |date=20 December 2019 |website=Oceania Football Center |access-date=28 November 2023 |archive-date=5 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231205122632/https://oceaniafootballcenter.org/2019/12/20/the-truth-behind-amicales-fine/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
