As of 2015, Hassan was academic editor of the sports academic journal "Sport in Society",[11] and editor of the Foundations in Sport Management series by the academic publishers Routledge.[12] Also in 2015, he was appointed to a strategic committee, 'Towards 150', of the GAA.[2]

As of 2017, he had published 14 books and over 160 other research outputs, including 75 peer reviewed articles in a number of journals and book chapters.[13]

A member of his local GAA club, St. Mary's GAC, Banagher, Hassan was part of the Derry senior football management team as of 2013.[1] In association football, Hassan reputedly played with Cliftonville FC.[5]

Hassan has appeared on radio and television sports programmes, including the BBC radio documentary 'Does the Cap Fit?',[2] and the Dubai Sports TV 'Motorstar 2011'.[14] He has spoken publicly on GAA governance and management.[15]
