Horseed FC is a Somali football club based in Horseed, Somalia. It is seven times champion of the Somalia League. A team of the Armed Forces of Somalia, Horseed SC was among the most formidable and recognized football clubs in the country. After the civil war broke out, it discontinued operations, but has been revived in 2013 by Gen Dahir Aden elmi Commander of the Somalia Armed Forces. Gen Elmi revived all the different teams of Horseed Sports Club with emphasis on the Football Team which again began to compete in the Somalia Serie A league.
In 2017, Col Ahmed Mohamed Hassan, a young energetic officer of the Somalia General Staff Officer Corps was appointed as its chairman, and since then the club has seen positive changes and developments which have catapulted the club to regain its former glory.
