'''Amicale FC''' (for sponsorship reasons also Digicel Amicale FC) was an association football club from [Port Vila](/source/Port_Vila), [Vanuatu](/source/Vanuatu). They played in the highest level in Vanuatu, the [Premia Divisen](/source/Vanuatu_Premia_Divisen) and played in the continental [OFC Champions League](/source/OFC_Champions_League). The club has reached and lost the finals of the [2010–11](/source/2010%E2%80%9311_OFC_Champions_League) and [2013–14 OFC Champions League](/source/2013%E2%80%9314_OFC_Champions_League), both times against [Auckland City](/source/Auckland_City_FC). They were sponsored by [Digicel](/source/Digicel) Vanuatu and [Hyundai Motor Company](/source/Hyundai_Motor_Company).
