The club was founded in 2006 (1998 E.C.).[2] Prior to the start of the 2018-19 season the club announced Girma Tadesse, previously the manager of Debub Police, as their new Manager.[3]

In the 2016-17 season, Hadiya Hossana finished second in group B of the Ethiopian Higher League gaining 53 points in the process. This earned them a spot in a playoff game against Mekelle City FC, the runners up in group A of the Higher League, with the winner being the third and final club promoted to the Ethiopian Premier League that season. The playoff game was held at a neutral site in Dire Dawa city and finished 2-1 in favor of Mekelle City meaning Hadiya Hossana would stay in Higher League.[4]
