[15][16] However, the Federation was not satisfied with their income distribution statements in the proposals and negotiations stalled.

[10] Jimma Aba Jifar and St. George came into the last day tied on points and goal difference, but a 5–0 victory for Jimma Aba Jifar and a 2-0 result for St. meant that the title would go to Jimma thanks to +3 goal difference advantage over St. After the 2017-18 season the EFF and premier league clubs agreed to reduce the number of foreign players allowed on each team to three. Rising wages and the neglect of home grown players were given as some of the reasons why the move was made. On May 5, 2020, the 2019-20 Season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [11] As a result, no champion was awarded and no clubs were relegated from the league in this season.
[5] Premier League Era[edit] The inaugural 1997-98 Ethiopian Premier League Season saw Ethio Electric (known as Mebrat Hail at the time) lift the trophy. The following year the league decided to increase the number of teams to 10, a year that ended with perennial favorites St. George S. C lifting their first Premier League trophy (16th title overall). George would go on to repeat as champions the following year (1999-00 season).
