disassociated themselves from the FA, including all major Addis Abeba clubs.
In December 2007, an official league started with 14 clubs, 6 from the
former Premier League (Awassa City, Defence Force, Harar Beer, Muger Cement,
Trans Ethiopia and Air Force) and 8 apparently invited clubs (Baher Dar
University, Addis Abeba Police, Ethiopian Water Works, Southern Police,
Guna Trading, Finchaa Sugar, Omedla and Fasil City).

(St. George, Eth, Coffee, EEPCO, Tikur Abay, Metehara Sugar, Adama City,
Insurance, Shashemene City, Banks and Nyala, all from the Premier League
