On March 16, 2026, Sak Hassan, a 24-year-old midfielder from Somalia, made headlines by playing for KSI’s Prime FC in the Baller League. This event unfolded without the permission of his current club, Wealdstone FC, which has led to significant backlash.
Hassan’s performance was notable as he scored in a high-scoring match, where Prime FC triumphed over N5 FC with a score of 7-3. This match marked Hassan’s return to the Baller League, where he had previously played for John Terry’s 26ers.
Wealdstone FC expressed their anger through a public statement, emphasizing that they were not approached for permission regarding Hassan’s participation. The club stated, “We are aware that Sak Hassan, under contract with Wealdstone FC, appeared in this evening’s Baller League.” They further added, “The club was not approached for permission for Sak to participate, nor were we made aware of his involvement in advance.”
This incident has not only upset the club but also the fans, with one expressing frustration by stating, “Clearly not a team player with no respect for our club. Mickey Mouse Football over National League Football.” Such sentiments reflect the disappointment among supporters regarding Hassan’s actions.
Hassan’s journey in football has seen him play for various academies, including Leyton Orient, Queens Park Rangers, and Tottenham Hotspur, before joining Wealdstone from Hashtag United last summer. This season, he has made 25 appearances for Wealdstone across all competitions.
KSI, the manager of Prime FC and co-owner of Dagenham and Redbridge, has aspirations to elevate his team to the Premier League. Currently, Dagenham and Redbridge sits at 12th in the National League South, making Hassan’s involvement in the Baller League a point of contention as it diverts attention from his primary commitments.
As the situation unfolds, it remains unclear what consequences Hassan may face for participating without permission. Additionally, the future relationship between him and Wealdstone is uncertain, leaving fans and stakeholders anxious about the implications of this incident.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any disciplinary actions that may be taken against Hassan, but the controversy surrounding his actions continues to resonate within the football community.
