Early years (1946–1963)

Hassania Union Sport d'Agadir was founded on 22 December 1946 by a group of patriots against French colonialism, and more particularly by Ahmed Kabbage, Abbas Kabbage, Hassan Oulhaj Akhannouch and Lahoucine Bijaouane, who are considered the founding fathers of the team.^[2] The founders chose a color for the team represented by two colors, red and white, and named it El Hassania, the name that expresses their adherence to their Moroccan identity.

Hassania Agadir appeared for the first time in its history at Ait Souss Stadium defying the French colonialism that refused to establish the club.

Since the establishment of the Hassania Club of Agadir in 1946, the founders of the club have appointed Hassan Oulhaj Akhannouch president of the club, and they have appointed Mr. Lahoucine Bijaouane as the general clerk of the club.^[2] The colonial French rejected the club's deposit file and kept standing in front of the establishment of the club. After the first match, Captain Chix summoned them to change the official shirt and to play outside Agadir, But the club refused and continued to train at the Marcala stadium, and they also played their match on it.

In 1956, Morocco gained independence, and the club was re-established, and it continued to struggle to qualify for the first division, and after two years of independence, the club succeeded in qualifying in the 1958/1959 season. At the end of February in 1960, the city of Agadir was hit by a strong earthquake, which claimed the lives of thousands, and among these victims were the Hassania Agadir players. After this disastrous ordeal passed, the team restructured itself again, and qualified in 1963 to the Throne Cup final.^[3]

The golden generation (2001-2008)

Hassania Agadir had not won any championship since its establishment until the 2001/2002 season, winning the Moroccan League title for the first time in its history. In the following season, the club won the title for the second time in a row, after Raja drew in its last match, so that Soussi club won the title for the second time in a row.

In 2006, Hassania Agadir will return to the competition for titles by reaching the Throne Cup final, a final that the Soussi team lost to Olympique Khouribga 1–0.^[4] The quarter-final witnessed a great surprise with Raja's withdrawal from the competition and not attending the Al Inbiaat stadium in Agadir. 2008/07 season, Hassania will present a good season and will occupy the fourth place, which qualified it to participate in the Arab Champions League.^[5][6]

Back to the podium (2018-2020)

After years of poor results and absence from the competition for titles, HUSA will return to compete in the Moroccan League for the 2018/17 season and will occupy the first place for more than half of the season, and by the end of the season, she will fall to third place.^[7] The same thing was repeated in the 2019/18 season, Hassania Agadir ranked third after a great competition with Olympique Safi, who drew in the last match, and Hassania qualified to participate in the African Confederation Cup.^[8] As for the Throne Cup, Hassania Agadir reached the final of the competition and lost the cup to Ittihad Casablanca by 2–1.^[9]

Hassania was on a date with history in the 2020/19 season, it qualified for the semi-finals of the African Confederation Cup for the first time in its history, and was eliminated against the other Moroccan team RS Berkane, with a score of 1–2.^[10]
