The Ethiopia national football team, nicknamed the The Walya Antelopes, is the national team of Ethiopia and is controlled by the Ethiopian Football Federation. They were one of the only three teams (Egypt, Sudan) to participate in the inaugural African Nations Cup in 1957, and won the competition in 1962 when they hosted it. But success has been hard to find since the end of the 1960s.
