Leading a nation that faces challenges in the competitive world of sports has proven to be quite demanding. Nevertheless, as Ethiopians, we exhibit resilience and perseverance until we achieve success. Last week in Morocco, we experienced a rollercoaster of emotions as we suffered a defeat in our first match but bounced back to win the second game by a significant margin, scoring two hat-tricks in the process. Our objective is to revive the passion for football within our community, uniting our nation and people. I vividly recall my childhood days when parents would take their children to the stadium on weekends to watch the game, creating unforgettable memories. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of a federation that aims to make this a reality for many in the near future. Ethiopia is a land of beauty and home to many talented individuals, and it is our responsibility in positions like mine to nurture their potential and provide them with opportunities to shine. Football serves as a gateway to success for our brightest talents.
