  • History of Football in Ethiopia Pdf
    History of football in ethiopia pdf Continue Ethiopia Menu General Summary Current League Tables Historic League Historic VonFootball is the most popular sport in Ethiopia. Although Ethiopia is not one of Africa's leading football countries, it has created several outstanding teams at both club and international level, as well as talented individual players. The early yearsFutball in Ethiopia came under the control of the Ethiopian Football Federation (EFF) when the organization was founded in 1943. EFF, affiliated with FIFA in 1953 and the Confederation of African Football in 1957. The Football League was in existence before the formation of the EFF with regional leagues contested during the 1938/39 and 1939/40 seasons in the provinces of Eritrea, Harar, Amhara, Shoah and Oromia - Cidamo under the Italian occupation. The first recognized version of the Ethiopian Premier League was challenged in 1944, when five teams representing different communities of Addis Ababa competed for the title won by the British Military Mission-BMME. The Ethiopian Cup was added the following year and has been regularly contested since then (albeit with some gaps, especially in the 1960s). Modern Football League has been an annual competition since 1948 with St George FC becoming the country's leading club with 24 titles. Ethiopia was suspended by FIFA in 2008 after the Federal Parliament assembly dismissed Esmebir Woldegirgis as EFF president and replaced him with his candidate Ahmed Yasin. As a result, FIFA, speaking out against state interference in football, suspended the country in July 2008. The suspension was lifted in July 2009 following the election of new EFF leaders.
