RC Arbaâ was to participate in the 2016 CAF Confederation Cup as a runners-up of the 2014–15 Algerian Cup in place of MO Béjaïa, because MO Béjaïa take part to 2016 CAF Champions League as a runners-up to a championship. However RC Arbaâ withdrew from the competition because that does not have a Fifa license, it was replaced by CS Constantine.^[6]
