Addis Ababa City Cup has been put on hold till further notice, the organizers have confirmed.
The 8-team off-season tournament for Ethiopian premier league sides was scheduled for Saturday 8 kick-off at Addis Stadium.
No reason has been given for the cancellation but the deteriorating security situation in the country occasioned by anti-government protests is believed to be the main cause.
Guest team KCCA from Uganda bolted out of the competition at the eleventh hour after local league organizing body refused to postpone their matches to allow them honor the invite, and hence reducing the number of participating teams in the competition to seven.
Mid this week, an international friendly between Ethiopia’s national team “Walia Ibex” and their counterparts from Tanzania, Taifa Stars, planned for today was also frozen.
