Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Foot-Ball Club Saronno 1910,[2] better known as F.B.C. Saronno or Saronno, is an Italian football club based in the city of Saronno. It plays in the Eccellenza, the fifth division of the Italian league.

Formed in 2015, it aims to be the de facto continuation of the sports tradition that began in 1910 with the birth of the Circolo Sportivo Saronnese (later Saronno Foot-Ball Club) and subsequently transited through various corporate entities, most recently the Associazione Sportiva Saronno F.B.C. 1910, which moved to Gallarate in 2010.[3][4]

From a historical point of view, Saronno boasts as its greatest success three participations in the Prima Categoria (at that time the highest series of Italian soccer) between 1919 and 1922, without, however, ever having made it past the regional qualifying groups; on the other hand, it has never managed to take part in the Serie A or Serie B round-robin tournament. Since World War II it has played steadily between the third division and amateur categories.

In the 2022-23 season it played in the Promozione Lombardy league, the sixth level of the Italian soccer pyramid.
