Olbia Calcio,[3] commonly referred to as Olbia, is a football club based in the city of Olbia, in the province of Sassari. It plays in Serie D, the fourth division of the Italian football league system.

Founded in 1906 (although its birth is traditionally traced back to 1905),[4] it was refounded in 2010 following the exclusion decreed by the Federal Council of the FIGC due to bankruptcy for financial reasons.[5][6]

Since its foundation, it has won nine championships, including a Serie D Scudetto in 2002.

The club colour is white, while the identifying symbols are the ship and the island of Tavolara. It plays its home matches at the Stadio Bruno Nespoli.[7]
