Domestic and African success (2013–present)

The club has enjoyed moderate success in the top division avoiding relegation in each of the last 4 seasons. In the 2016–2017 season the club had its most successful run in the Ethiopian Cup, winning the trophy for the first time in its short history. The current coach Zenebe Fisseha was hired in November 2017.

By virtue of winning its first domestic cup in 2017, the club qualified for the 2018 CAF Confederation Cup. In the first round of the competition Wolaitta Dicha were matched up against Tanzanian side Zimamoto F.C. The first leg ended in a draw in Tanzania, but on the return leg they were able to get a narrow 1–0 victory in front of a home crowd in Hawassa helping them win 2–1 on aggregate and advance to the round of 16. In the round 16 they were drawn against Egyptian giants Zemalek SC, five times former champions of Africa. First leg saw Wolaitta Dicha edged out Zamalek in a hard-fought 2–1 win at Hawassa Stadium in Ethiopia. The return leg at El Salam stadium in Cairo ended 2–1 in regulation in the favor of Zemalek making the teams level on aggregate (2–2) and leading to a penalty shootout. The underdog Wolaitta Dicha side eventually went on to win on penalties 4–3, eliminating Zemalek in the process and producing one of the biggest shocks in the competition's history. They were eliminated in the next round of the tournament by Tanzanian side Young African S.C. 2–1 on aggregate.

In January 2021, Dellegn Dechassa was sacked as head coach after a poor start to the season.
