Therefore, HASC were promoted to the 11th NFL Premier Division along with runners up Churchill Brothers.

In the 2013–14 edition of the Bangalore 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."[17] Reports of the club resuming operations and fielding their team emerged after they held selection trials in 2019.[37]
