[2] In June 2013 defeated Danbort FC and qualified first time for the promotion to the Ghana Premier League.

In July 2021 Inter Allies defender Hashmin Musah has confessed to scoring two intentional own goals in Saturday's Ghana Premier League clash with Ashanti Gold in order to defy an attempt at match-fixing from his own team. The club lost 7–0, with Musah coming off the bench to net twice past his own keeper in the final 12 minutes. He claims that he did so on purpose as he believes that the score had been agreed in advance for betting purposes. [8]
