In the 2013–14 season Al-Arabi SC qualified for the final match of the Kuwait Crown Cup for the third time in a row vs Al-Qadsia SC and lost 2–1 with one of the worst referred matches in Kuwait where the referee canceled a goal for the Greens where there was nothing wrong and it was a clean goal. He then gave Al-Qadsia a penalty in the 70th minute of the match and due to the bad referee Al-Arabi wanted to forfeit but continued for the Prince's honor and Al-Qadsia scored the penalty in the 75th minute. In the 83rd minute, Al-Qadsia scored the second goal leading 2–0 and at the 90th minute the referee gave 15 minutes of extra time due to the match stopping several times which Al-Arabi SC scored on the 93rd minute by Mahmoud Maowas.
