Club Song

Chant: Hasmal, We Go Do!

Hasaacas, sometimes referred to as Hasmal, has produced some of the finest players in Ghana soccer. Notable players include Modibo Toe, Mahama Fuseini, Joseph Carr, James Kuuku Dadzie, Emmanuel Quarshie, Windsor Kofi Abbrey, John "Zion Train" Essien, P.S.K Paha and Isaac Paha.

1958 controversy

Hasaacas was expelled from its base in Sekondi during 1958 as a result of a conflict with the Ghanaian Amateur Football Association. Hasaacas declined a request to play a mid-week friendly ahead of a key match against Kumasi Cornestone. The football association forced Hasaacas to move to Tarkwa as its home base. This decision was reversed following the coup in 1966 and a move back to Sekondi. At the same time as the repatriation, rival club Sekondi Indepence Club were banned.[2]
