In the 2013–14 edition of the BDFA Super Division, HASC finished eighth among nine teams. This prompted the club to shut down their activities "temporarily" in December 2014. The coach H. Chnadrashekhar said, "We will not field a team temporarily (in the Cups and the league) and to that effect HASC's management had sent a letter to BDFA secretary ST Bhoopal." Reports of the club resuming operations and fielding their team emerged after they held selection trials in 2019.{{cite web |title=Selection Trials for HAL Football team |url=https://hal-india.co.in/Selection%20Trials%20for%20HAL%20Football%20team/M__397 |website=HAL |publisher=hal-india.co.in |access-date=29 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191229031456/https://hal-india.co.in/Selection%20Trials%20for%20HAL%20Football%20team/M__397 |archive-date=29 December 2019}}
