@FarhanAbdullahA Even though Kenan scored 7 goals in 21/22 season, he is neither a striker nor a good finisher. Since joining Mechal in 22/23, he has struggled to find his form, scoring just 1 in 10 starts. In his new role, he performed well in the friendlies, but Wubetu must play Amanuel as a 9.

#ALG became the first country to reach the quarterfinals after defeating #Eth 1-0. The Walias were dominant in possession but underwhelming in attack as they played without a recognized striker. #Eth has to win their last game of the group against #LIB in order to qualify.

#Ethiopia will play #Algeria in a must-win Group A match. The Walias drew with #Mozambique last Saturday. On the other hand, hosts Algeria defeated #Libya in their first game of the tournament. Ethiopia will be hoping for maximum points in a sold-out Baraki Stadium. #CHAN2022

[Blue Nile Sport @BlueNileSport]

#Ethiopia and #Mozambique played out a goalless draw in their first game of #CHAN2022. Both sides had chances to break the deadlock, leaving both sides with a point ahead of their second game. The Walias enjoying a slight edge in possession and looking more dangerous in attack.

Amanuel Gabremichael is likely to be Ethiopia’s most important attacking outlet in Algeria. The dynamic, direct wider forward is the sides most potent goal scorer and assist maker.

St. George technician Chernet Gugsa will be looking to provide Ethiopia with a creative spark from the wide areas.

Ethiopia is one of the few African countries whose main national team is majorly composed of local based players. Ethiopia has qualified for the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) only twice; in 2014 and 2016. On both occasions, they have bowed out winless in the group stages.

[Blue Nile Sport @BlueNileSport]

Ethiopia have been drawn in group A with hosts Algeria, Libya and Mozambique. The Walias last qualified for the CHAN in 2016 and missed out on the last two editions. Wubetu hopes to build on 2021 AFCON, that the lessons learned in Cameroon will propel his team in this tournament.

Phase two of the construction of Bahirdar Stadium has been launched today by Sports Minister.

The construction of the stadium began in late 2009 by MIDROC, and the stadium received recognition from CAF in 2015.
