ETHIOPIA - National Selection

Nickname

The Walya Antelopes

Flash analysis

Absent from the finals of the Africa Cup of Nations since the 2013 edition in South Africa, Ethiopia is on the lookout to return to the big continental stage. Third in Group K (6 points), one point behind Côte d'Ivoire and Madagascar, the Walya Antelopes have a great card to play in the last two days of these qualifiers with the reception of Baréa before a dangerous trip to Abidjan to challenge the Elephants who were beaten 2-1 in the first leg.
