The club was formed in 1931 and was previously a member of the Ghana Telecom Premier League. After twenty years in the Globacom Premier League, the club was relegated to the Poly Tank Division One League in 2010. Affectionately referred to as the 'Giants of the West', an accolade it acquired after being the only Ghanaian team to hold Fortuna Düsseldorf to a 3–3 draw during a tour of West Africa by the German side in August 1959. The team had been the Oil City's only participant in the top flight Ghanaian Premiership for over a decade from the mid 1996–97 football season until its relegation to Division One in the 2009–2010 league season. The club, Sekondi Hasaacas, has a rich history, producing four captains for the senior national team (the Black Stars) and contributing as many as five players to the squad that won the 1982 African Cup of Nations in Tripoli, Libya. The supporters group of Sekondi Hasaacas FC are known as Councils. They number in the hundreds of thousands across the region and keenly follow the progress of the club at all levels. The club has a mid profile but a reputation for killing giants. Hence it has admirers and sympathizers country wide; indeed, many football fans have made Sekondi Hasaacas their second club of choice to support.

The foundation of Sekondi Hasaacas Football was due to six railway workers. The name Hasaacas came from the railway workers in Sekondi Takoradi who decided to use the first letters of their names to form the name of the club in 1931, thus H. A. S. A. A. C. A. S.—namely Hammond, Amua Sakyi, Adotei, Allotey, Cann, Adotey and Sackey. Most of them were supporters of Accra Hearts of Oak but migrated to Sekondi Takoradi mainly because of their railway work. Amoah Sakyi was a High Court judge and was named as the club board secretary. Cann was also a lawyer by profession. The name later became Sekondi Hasaacas because the team was based in Sekondi; they decided to use rainbow colors as their original colors because most of the founding members were supporters of Accra Hearts of Oak. After some years, they decided to change the colors because they clashed with the jerseys of Accra Hearts of Oak, who first started using rainbow colors. Hasaacas then decided to use white, green and red as its new colors.
