In 1982 Al-Arabi SC was the first ever team to win Gulf Club Champions Cup,and then won it again in 2003

Al-Arabi Sporting Club has qualified in 2013 for the final match of the UAFA CUP in the first leg they tied 0-0 in Kuwait and in Algeria lost 3-2 while they were 0-2 down in the first half due to referee mistake dining a goal for Al-Arabi Sporting Club and then giving them an offside goal which after that they scored there second goal, after the second half started Al-Arabi sporting club scored there first goal from a header from Kader Fall at the 58th min which gave the team motivation to score the second goal from a long shot distance at the 61st min from Hussain Al-moussawi after that the team was playing much better and at the 75th min of the game the ref gave Union Sportive Médina d'Alger a penalty kick for a weird reason for trying to keep the ball in his possions so the USM Alger player jumped on him and fell so the referee gave him a penalty which they scored in the 76th min which gave them the championship by a win of 3-2 on aggregate that day was the day Al-Arabi Sporting Club was rightfully the real winner if its wasn't due to bad referee's.
