Al Arabi recovered from a disappointing season by winning back-to-back titles from 1965 to 1967, as well as securing doubles by winning the Prince Cup trophy in 1966. In 1966, Al Arabi finished the league with 9 wins, 1 draw and only 5 goals conceded, a record for Al Arabi club. However, the team failed to defend its title for a third time, and in 1967/1968 Al-Kuwait won its second major trophy. Al-Qadsiya went on to win the league in 1968/1969, making it its first ever league win. The team won 5 games, drew 5 and lost 0. This was the first time Al Arabi goes two seasons without winning a single league trophy, however, this all changed in season 1969/1970 when Al Arabi secured its 6th league title.
