Football in Ethiopia is not only market oriented and professionalized, but also does not financially sustain itself. On the other hand, the budget of the football clubs and the salary of the labor market is sky rocketing from time to time. Therefore, we set-out to assess this paradox of organizational structure and management. To analyze this, a qualitative and exploratory case study through interview and focus group discussion, as well as literature survey (such as: public announcements, regulation, and policy) and personal observation were used. Top management officials in the Ethiopian Ministry of Youth and Sport, higher officials of Ethiopian Football Federation, prominent football club leaders at Ethiopian premier league, sport academicians, sport journalists, experienced „A‟ licensed coaches and international referees, and prominent Football spectators were interviewed plus conducted at group discussion. Though, the result indicates that there is confusion in discriminating shamateurism from Semi-professionalism. However, significant number of the interviewees and participants in focal group discussion and key informants indicated that football in Ethiopia is not self-sustaining. Therefore under this research, the definition of Shamateurism and its limitations to football development in Ethiopia were investigated, in addition, comparison Shamateurism in spite of Amateurism, Professionalism and Semi-professionalism. In conclusion Shamateurism is the dark shadow of football in Ethiopia. P a g e | 606 Copyright ⓒ 2020Authors GIS Business ISSN: 1430-3663 Vol-15-Issue-5-May -2020 Key words: - Shamateurism, football federation, Amateurism, Professionalism, Semi- professionalism, Introduction Historical development of football Shamateurism in Ethiopia Football in Ethiopia has a long journey from the beginnings of which come across three stages with their similarities and differences. The early stage were (1968:22) “from foundation 1948 until 1976,” without official governmental structure and financial allocation based on the philosophical pillar as Yednekachew one and key founder of EFF speaks (1968:28) “amateurism and the Olympic spirit.” The second stage was from 1977 to 1997 surviving for 30 years with official governmental structure and financial support, established based on the Soviet Union and East Europe Socialist countries and the main motto was accounted to Alem Eshete(1982:52) “football encouraged for class struggle, unity and development” then the philosophy grows to state-amateurism and systematized as an illustration of the documents of EFF described (1978/9:13) “any football player should be an amateur and based on the amateurism principle, sport professionalism is prohibited in Ethiopia.” With this in mind, because of the competitive balance and the effect of globalization the game slowly hold on the interest of all actors such as the club owners (all of them were governmental companies), the labor market (players and coaches), fans and the media. Due to the practice clubs slanting to win, in consequence owners and clubs gradually losing their amateur ethos then values of Amateurism replaced by „under-the-table‟ payments, as a result EFF cornered between the ethos and the demand. In this respect EFF loosen its power of control and can‟t play a significant role to protect the basic principle of Amateurism or didn‟t sweetened the ground to the demand for transforming football to semi-professionalism. P a g e | 607 Copyright ⓒ 2020Authors GIS Business ISSN: 1430-3663 Vol-15-Issue-5-May -2020 Under those circumstances football transformed to the third stage at 1998 by establishing the league with some amendments of rules and regulations via cross out the article which prohibited the professional players. Consequently football comes to be a favorable coincidence to transform to local/semi-professionalism. At the time most market oriented and profit making governmental organizations and endowment companies show their intent by participating at the league and to support football of the nation by the benevolence of the company leaders, whereas the canceled article didn‟t supported by relevant and proper article to encourage semi-professionalism and denounce „under-the-table‟ payments. However the situation and legal ground was not convenient only but also had not guarantee to these organizations then sky-rocketing the salary of players from thousands to hundreds of thousands and the annual budget also escalate from tenth of thousands to tenth of millions birr (local currency). Consequently these market oriented and profit-making companies slowly and by design escaped from football. Despite of the fact that even though those companies are big business oriented and profit-making corporations their participation were not took football as a business or as a means of business, rather to surmount the social responsibility of their company. Accordingly, the clubs encoded from market oriented and profit-making companies to not-for- profit municipalities, and the principle also changing from company amateurism to municipal amateurism, likewise event though organized in a league system football clubs and the league are not self-reliant and totally their budget is under government. In summary, from the above clarification the current football was hinge on the mix-ups of amateurism and semi-professionalism, by then the sequence comes easily surrendered by Shamateurism. In either case it is very crucial to arrange the ideals and concepts based on the development of football on the following methods as Beech & Chadwick stated (2004:5) “clarify the foundation, codification and commoditization on the way of amateurism and/or professionalism.” However, even though the problems are visible still no one recognizes Shamateurism as a problem, yet MYSAE, EFF, sport academicians, football professional associations, clubs and club owners the labor market and the media taking the practices of Shamateurism as the stage of local or semi-professionalism. In the most compelling evidence P a g e | 608 Copyright ⓒ 2020Authors GIS Business ISSN: 1430-3663 Vol-15-Issue-5-May -2020 there are some confusion interpretations regarding to the terminologies of amateurism, professionalism, semi-professionalism and Shamateurism. In conclusion „Shamateurism‟ is still the deep dark shadow of football in Ethiopia. Background of the study Like other similar social sectors football is suffuering and still torture by the fall-apart transition from the ideological changes of fudal to capitalism and to Socialist movementsagain back to the market based developmental state poletical economy. On the consequences the improper overthrow of the poletical changes shadowed to the darkest and most violent period in the current football. This ideological upsets bringing inappropriate version on amateurism and professionalism. accordingly this ideological struggle innate as Kazuo Uhiumi stated (2007:43) “in the eastern block occurs the state amateurism, and in the west originates the company and college amateurism.” For the reason that in Ethiopia especialy the 2nd stage football followed the state amateurism principlewith the deadlock to professionalism, as a result slowly and totally to dispersed the amaterusim ideal and not deservedly transformed to semi-professionalism based on the development of football of the nation, finally the run through of „under-the-table‟ payments came as a normal practic. Buteverybody acquired as the stage of semi-professionalism. As a result, Shamateurism setle comfortably as a proper gideline to football, but football still cornerd and suffered by dependecy. Significance of the study Commercialized and professionalized football is an entertainment industry which its management is an exceptionally unique and unpredictable sector. (Football management Sue Bridgewater: 2010:4) Football in Ethiopia is not self-reliant and totally hinge on at the shoulder of the government. Similar with, there is no legal ground for determining the relationship between amateurism and professionalism, consequently amateur clubs and the competition itself absolutely dismissed, and then the mix-ups of amateurism and professionalism helps Shamateurism to stay safely. In this P a g e | 609 Copyright ⓒ 2020Authors GIS Business ISSN: 1430-3663 Vol-15-Issue-5-May -2020 respect this study is very important to show the vulnerabilities of Shamateurism and indicating how to organize the amateur and professional football with a clear relationship to resolve Shamateurism. Reviews of Related literature on Shamateurism in Ethiopia According to Uchiumi the historical development of Shamateurism was seen to make the ideological shelter in the early of 50s, in this case the cold war gift to sport was arose (2007:43) “in Soviet

    DEDEBIT CLUB: A CATALYST FOR ETHIOPIAN FOOTBAL RENAISSANCE By Yohannes Gebresellasie (Ph.D) Addis Ababa, Ethiopia The Ethiopian football has its golden age or glorious period during the 1950s and 60s with legendary players such as the late Mengestu Worku, Luchiano Vasalo, etc.. They even won the African cup. Those legendary players made our nation very proud..Soon after that period, the Ethiopian football standard and performance started to decline from time to time and our people have been hungry for any international cup victory for over thirty years. At present, our people have started to see light at the end of the tunnel with the emergence of some clubs such as Saint Jorge, Buna, Mekelakeya and of course Dedebit. This recent Ethiopian foot ball renaissance ha6s been spearheaded by Dedeibit Football Club. This young club has been a catalyst in radically uplifting the quality of Ethiopian football in so short time and in being the cause for heralding the renaissance of Ethiopian football. Dedebit football club was created some sixteen years back by a visionary man called Colonel Awol Abdurahim; a man with a dream who worked unremittingly to make his dream come true.. Since then, this football club has won games after games in order to get first to the Premier league and then to be the champion of the Premier League as its primary mission and finally, to be the Champion of the Ethiopian Premier League as its final and ultimate mission. Dedebit sport club is thus far the only club that was established with a clear cut vision, mission and plan of action in order to create a modern football club by organizing children under the age of ten.

  • Exploring the Relationship Between Spectators' Experience
    Journal of Marketing and Consumer Research www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8451 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.40, 2017 Exploring the Relationship between Spectators’ Experience with Sportscape Elements and Propensity to Re-Patronize: Evidence from Addis Ababa Stadium, Ethiopia Temesgen Yitbarek MA in Marketing Management, Lecturer at Dire Dawa University, College of Business and Economics, Department of Marketing Management. Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between spectators’ experience with sportscape elements and propensity to re-patronize in Addis Ababa stadium, Ethiopia. The survey instrument was administered to 150 spectators’ from all seating sections at four different games based on the sportscape model proposed by Wakefield, Blodgett and Sloan (1996) and Theodorakis and Alexandris (2008) SPORTSERV model. Based on descriptive analysis, spectators’ appeared to have unpleasant experience with majority of the studied sportscape elements and despite the unfavorable experience; result of the regression analysis depicts none significant relationship with spectators’ propensity to re-patronize or attend future games in the stadium. Keywords: Spectators’ Experience, Sportscape Elements, Propensity to Re-Patronize. 1. INTRODUCTION Servicescape which is the physical environment of the service establishment plays a vital role in influencing consumption experiences. According to Bitner (1992), servicescape plays many roles in service marketing such as: communicating service features and outcomes; facilitating the service delivery and consumption; enhancing the consumer experiences and thereby affecting their behavioral responses. A clear implication here is that the physical setting can aid or hinder the accomplishment of both internal organizational goals and external marketing goals (Arnould, et al, 1998). However, the way the physical setting is created in organizations has barely been tapped as a tangible organizational resource (Becker, 1987; Bitner 1992).
