This season marked Al Arabi's first slump in league football. The team finished third place, following Al-Qadsiya in their third consecutive 2nd place spot, with Al-Kuwait winning their first trophy and becoming the second team to win the league and also the second team with a perfect undefeated season of 7 wins and 3 draws.
