Ethiopian Athletic Federation

Ethiopian Athletic Federation (EAF) is an IAAF recognised member officially representing Ethiopia as the national governing body for the sport of Athletics.

The history of the sport may be traced back to military and school organizations in 1897. The organization was formed in 1949. The ability of East African athletes was announced to the world in the 1960 Olympics as barefooted Abebe Bikila took the gold medal in the Marathon. Bikila repeated in 1964 and the floodgates were opened. Ethiopia has captured 45 Olympic medals, all of them in long distance running through 2012, despite participating in three Olympic boycotts. The organization is also responsible for selecting representatives to other world championship events.

Ethiopia's kits are currently supplied by Adidas.
