[edit] History

The club was formed in 1975 as Yebuna Negat and started playing at AEWA Factory workers third division. Within the next six years, it had amassed four trophies and one fair play award.

In 1983, its name was changed to Ethiopian Coffee Sports Club under the country's National Coffee Trading Corporation, then a government enterprise.

The club was restructured in 1995. Since then it is supported by the country's coffee exporters.

Ethiopian Coffee is one of the most widely-supported clubs in the country. Despite its young age and relatively unsuccessful results, the clubs attacking and entertaining football has attracted thousands of football fans who passionately get behind the club whenever it plays.
