FBC Melgar is looking to end a nearly decade-long drought without a champion. In 2024, Domino will aim to win the League 1 title and will therefore spare no effort in preparation. The Arequipa team is currently in Argentina, a country where they will stay until the middle of this month to play friendly matches that will allow coach Pablo de Muner to find the ideal team with which to not only win the Peruvian championship , but can also contest the previous phases of the Copa Libertadores.
Which clubs will Melgar play against in his pre-season?
The first rival Melgar had in the Gaucho lands was Argentinos Juniorsagainst whom he played a three-minute practice duel (he lost the first two 1-0 and the last ended 0-0).
Their next game will be against Independiente de Avellaneda, seven-time Copa Libertadores champions and two-time Sudamericana winners. The game against Rojo will be played on Wednesday, January 10, at the Libertadores de América-Ricardo Enrique Bochini Stadium.
The Rojinegros meet on Saturday the 13th, one day before their return to Peru Defense and JusticeChampion of the Copa Sudamericana 2020, at the Bosques DyJ ground, the club complex.
When will Melgar's Red and Black Afternoon 2024 take place?
