History
The club was founded in 2006 (1998 E.C.). Prior to the start of the 2018–19 season the club announced Girma Tadesse, previously the manager of Debub Police, as their new Manager.
In the 2016–17 season, Hadiya Hossana finished second in group B of the Ethiopian Higher League gaining 53 points in the process.
