Raed Club Arbaâ, known more commonly as Amal Arbaâ (Arabic:أمل الأربعاء), is an Algerian football club located in Larbaâ that was founded in 1941. The club currently plays in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1. Their home stadium is the Stade Ismaïl Makhlouf. However, they are currently playing their home games at the Stade Omar Hamadi due to the refusal of the league to approve the use of their stadium.[1]

In 2012, RC Arba finished first in the Groupe Centre of the 2011-12 Ligue Nationale du Football Amateur to win promotion to the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 2, marking their return to the second division after a twelve-year absence.[2] The following season, they finished second in the 2012-13 Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 2 to win promotion to the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 for the first time.[3]
