Sekondi Hasaacas F.C.

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. Sekondi Hasaacas FC is supported by a fan group known as the Councils, which has a significant presence across the region and follows the club at all levels of competition. The club is considered a mid-profile team but has a reputation for defeating higher-profile opponents. As a result, it has attracted supporters and sympathizers throughout the country, with some fans adopting it as their second club.
