Ethiopia Football: St. George to face Fincha Sugar before flying to Tanzania

We apologize for the error, but St. George will be playing against Fincha Sugar and NOT Lideta Nyala as was previously reported!

Addis Ababa – Ethiopian Premier League defending champions St. George FC will fly to Tanzania tomorrow evening to take part in this year’s Kagame CECAFA Clubs Cup competition.

But before boarding the plane, the team will play its last match of the season against Fincha Sugar at 3pm here.

Following a 5-team battle for the title for the past few weeks, Defence Force and Sidama Coffee lost their golden opportunity after they both dropped two valuable points against Adama City (1-1) and Harar Brewery (1-1) on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

So, the 3 teams who will fight for the EPL title are Ethiopian Coffee (58 pts), St. George (57 pts) and Dedebit FC (55 pts).

Ethiopian Coffee will receive Mugher Cement, while Dedebit FC will battle out with Defence Force on Monday on the final round of the EPL

Monday’s fixtures will also decide the faith of two other teams who will join Lideta Nyala (22 pts) and Fincha Sugar (10 pts) in relegation.
