Arabian FC

Arabian FC is a Brunanter football club based in Arabian Quarter of Koningstad. It is a member of the AFC and its home stadium is the SD Bank-Center. Its coach is Juan Elvira and is owned by the shipping magnate Andreas Hansen. Arabian FC is known for its fine youth academy, having produced players like Dennis van Aggelen, Ibra El-Zein and Hamad Abdullah.

History
Arabian was founded in 1970 by various Arab-Brunanters businessmen. Although initially an amateur team, it got much support from the city's (and the country's) Middle-Eastern population. It became professional in 1972 and was one of the best teams in the Second League of AFC, with players like Faysal Abujamal and Hamid El-Zein, father of Ibra El-Zein and Stefan El-Zein.

As a result, Arabian FC promoted to the First League in 1980. However, it struggled not to demote, even though Hamid El-Zein was at his best. In 1986, the known football fan Ambroos Hansen bought the team and seeked to sign a few talented Brunanter players, most notably, Willem Bergher. Soon enough, the team improved and the talented forward Dennis van Aggelen was the natural leader of the team. In 1990, Hansen brought the Argentine winger Arsenio de la Fuente, who made an excellent duo with van Aggelen. The two of them are credited for the Arabian's spectacular football style during the 90's. The team team did quite well in the Championship and was the runner-up in 1996. The team won its first Johan II Cup in 1997, after an impressive season.

Arsenio de la Fuente returned to his country in 1999 and many other important players left the team. Van Aggelen retired in 2002, after a severe injury.

A handful of young players arrived in the team during the early 00's, such as Ibra El-Zein, Hamid Asma, Alfred Kiessling and Hamad Abdullah. Rejuvenated, the team won its second Johan II Cup in 2005.
