Ethiopia submits official bid to host Afcon 2028
Ethiopia won the Afcon title on home soil in 1962 but the Walia Ibex, ranked 143rd in the world and 43rd in Africa, have only qualified for the tournament three times since they last hosted.
Ethiopia was one of just three nations to play at the first Afcon in 1957, but the 52,000-seat Bahir Dar Stadium in the north of the country is currently the only facility it posseses which is approved by Caf.
Ethiopia played its home qualifiers for the 2026 Fifa World Cup at neutral venues in Morocco and Rwanda but did host matches in Dire Dawa earlier this year.
