Grupo Desportivo Heróis da Baixa de Cassanje is an Angolan sports club from the city of Malanje, in the namesake province.

The club is named after the pro-independence rebellious group who participated in the Baixa de Cassanje revolt, an act that was carried out as part of Angola's anti-colonial war for independence.

Prior to qualifying to the Girabola, the club has been one of the most regular competitors in the qualifying tournament for the Girabola, having competed in a total 12 seasons from 2003 to 2006, from 2008 to 2013 and finally in 2020–21.

In 2020–21, the team qualified to the Girabola, as a result of a draw following the cancellation of the qualifying tournament for Angola's top division, the Segundona, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2][3]
