Foot Ball Club Melgar, known simply as FBC Melgar or Melgar, is a Peruvian soccer club based in Arequipa, Peru. It is one of Peru's oldest soccer teams, founded on March 25, 1915 by a group of soccer enthusiasts from Arequipa.

The team first participated in the Peruvian football league (Campeonato Descentralizado) in 1919 in Lima and later was invited to the first true National soccer league in 1966, when four teams from the provinces were invited to join the league. Joining them were Atletico Grau from Piura, Club Octavio Espinoza from Ica and Alfonso Ugarte from Trujillo. Previously, only teams from Lima and Callao had been allowed to compete for the National Championship. Due to a low finish the first year, Melgar was dropped from the league after the first year. After winning the Copa Peru they returned to the First Division where they have remained to this day. Melgar won the Campeonato Descentralizado for the first time in 1981 and again in 1983. In that latter year, the top six teams played a playoff tournament to determine the year's champion and Melgar finished second.

FBC Melgar plays its home games at the Estadio Mariano Melgar, but since the Estadio de la UNSA was built in 1990 with a capacity of 40,000, it has used both.

History

The club won nine cups in the departament of Arequipa, and won the Copa Perú in 1971. This championship allowed them to return to the First Division Campeonato Descentralizado where they currently remain.

Melgar won the National Championship in 1981, and Melgar was the runner-up of the National Championship in 1983. In both these years this qualified them to play in the Copa Libertadores.
