Through the years Al-Arabi SC has won many achievements and made Kuwait proud by domestic wins or international by winning the Kuwaiti Premier League/ VIVA Premier League 7 times also 3 Joint League, 6 Emir Cup's and 1 Federation Cup as they were the first ever Kuwaiti team to play outside Kuwait in football by competing in friendly matches against many teams through the Arabian Peninsula showing competitive playing from Kuwaiti clubs in friendly tournaments.

On 3 December 1974 Al-Arabi SC Faced Lazio and beat them 1–0 in a friendly match.^[8]

1980–2009

In 1982 Al-Arabi SC was the first ever team to win Gulf Club Champions Cup,^[9] (and then won it again in 2003)^[10] through that time they were called the best team in the GCC.

Al-Arabi SC had changed their logo in 1991 to a better looking logo through the 20 years they have won 26 titles between them the GCC Champions League in 2003 and their last Kuwaiti Premier League/ VIVA Premier League Trophy in 2001–02, but through the years between 2005–10 they were rough years for Al-Arabi SC by going down the table League to 4th–6th, but competed in the AFC Cup but only made it to the quarter-final of the cup. After that Al-Arabi SC never competed in an Asian tournament hopes were raising for the team by their fans for the upcoming future.

2010–2012

Through that times Al-Arabi SC had retained their confidence through football and trying their best to win titles through these 2 seasons they won 2 titles the Kuwait Super Cup and Kuwait Crown Prince Cup^[11]

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 a mistake by the referee denying a goal for Al-Arabi Sporting Club and then giving them an offside goal which after that they scored their second goal, after the second half started Al-Arabi sporting club scored their first goal from a header from Kader Fall at the 58th minute which gave the team motivation to score the second goal from a long shot distance at the 61st minute from Hussain Al-Moussawi after that the team was playing much better and at the 75th minute of the game the ref gave USM Alger a penalty kick for a weird reason for trying to keep the ball in his possession so the USM Alger player jumped on him and fell. The referee gave him a penalty which they scored in the 76th minute 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 it wasn't due to bad referees.^[12]

By the rest of the extra time Al-Arabi SC raised their offense and attacked to try and tie the game but couldn't by the referee who wouldn't let them score and giving many offsides and gave 2 red cards for Al-Arabi SC for no reason saying that the 2 players are exaggerating and offending me, but the referee pushed them and said leave which ended 2–1 which crowned Al-Qadsia Champions, but the Prince was not satisfied with the outcome of the match and left disappointed.

The Crest of Al-Arabi SC has changed only once through their entire lives as a football club. The first crest was used from 1960–80 due to the club changing from Al-Uruba to Al-Arabi SC in 1960. This lasted until 1980 where the design was drawn on paper then scanned to make it, but changed in 1991 to the present design using Photoshop and other graphic designing applications.

It is said that the current design is set to change, due to it not having an English name on it, to a new design with the founded date of 1953 or 1960 on it.^[46][47]

Colors

Al-Arabi SC have changed their colors over the years. Since 1960–90 their colors were light green and white as the away kit.

From 2000–present, they changed to a darker green and the away color was still white.

By 2012 it was announced that Al-Arabi SC will be wearing dark green as their home kit, the away kit will be blue, and the third kit will be white with green.

In the 2013–14 season, Al-Arabi SC wore only the home kit and third kit.
