Arba Minch City Football Club (Amharic: አርባምንጭ ከተማ), also known as Arba Minch Kenema, is a professional Ethiopian football club based in Arba Minch. They play in the Ethiopian Higher League, the second division of professional football in Ethiopia.
Arba Minch was most recently promoted to the Premier League in 2011–12 season. After a relative smooth first three seasons in the top league, frequent changes in coaches and administrative problems led them to be struggles over the next 4 seasons. Arba Minch narrowly avoided relegation in both the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons.[1]
Arba Minch signed manager Tsegaye K/Mariam to a two-year contract before the 2017–18 campaign. Only to later sack the manager just a couple months into his contract.[2] After seven straight seasons in the top league Arba Minch was relegated from the Ethiopian Premier League after the 2017–18 season.[3] They rejoined the top division for the 2021–22 season.[4]
