FBC 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 truly national championship in 1966, when four teams from outside of the capital city were invited to join the championship, formerly played only by teams from Lima and Callao. Melgar won the Descentralizado championship for the first time in 1981 and again in 1983, but that year the top six teams played an extra short tournament to decide the year's champion and Melgar ended second. The team also won the Copa Peru in 1971, which gave them the right to play in first division.
They play their 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. The club uses the smaller stadium because it costs them less to use it.
