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]
