Abstract. Let $\mathbb{F}_{p^{k}}A_{5}$ be the group algebra of $A_{5}$, the alternating group of degree $5$, over $\mathbb{F}_{p^{k}}=GF(p^{k})$, where $p$ is a prime. Using the theory developed by Ferraz in [Ferraz08], we give an explicit description for the Wedderburn decomposition of $\mathbb{F}_{p^{k}}A_{5}$ modulo its Jacobson radical.
