Coronavirus: Ethiopia ends Premier League season without promotion and relegation

The Ethiopian Football Federation has announced the cancellation of the 2019-20 Premier League season with no winner, no promotion and relegation.

According to the statement released on Tuesday, Ethiopia will not have any representatives at Caf inter-club competitions next season after a meeting between the executive committee of the Ethiopian Football Federation, the Ethiopian Premier League Football Executive Committee and the government.

Ethiopia has been in a state of emergency since April 8 after Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed enforced strict measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus in the East African country.
