FBC Melgar’s badge shows a black shield crossed by a red diagonal band, with the name “FBC Melgar” at the top, two gold stars above it, a gold lyre in the centre and “Arequipa” written below a football and laurel branches.

The red and black colours are central to Melgar’s identity and explain the nickname “Los Rojinegros.” The diagonal sash gives the crest a classic football look and mirrors the club’s traditional red-and-black visual style.

The gold lyre is the most distinctive symbol in the badge. It refers to Mariano Melgar, the Arequipa-born poet and independence figure after whom the club is named. The “Arequipa” text reinforces the club’s role as one of the city’s major sporting symbols.

FBC Melgar was founded in 1915 in Arequipa and has long been one of southern Peru’s most important clubs. The two stars represent its two Peruvian national championships, won in 1981 and 2015. The badge brings that history together clearly: the Melgar name, the red-and-black identity, the poetic lyre, the Arequipa reference and the stars marking the club’s greatest league achievements.
