Now we can tear down the current stadium and build high-rises.

It's a fantastic stadium, but I hope they will build it with at least 70 - 75 000 seater, rather a 60 000 seater. I also hope this stadium will only be a fotball stadium without the running track.

I also think we should tear down the old stadium an build a new one at the same spot. An 85 000 seater and with all that coms to track and field and with parking garage underneath and retail and restaurang services around. Then we could apply to IAAF for the track and field World Championchips in Addis Abeba!!!! What is your response to that??

Ethiopia grab spot in next round of CAN 2013 qualifiers

Ethiopia held on to a 1-1 draw against Benin to go through to the next round of Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, and knock out their hosts.
Other teams celebrating after Sunday's qualifiers are Zimbabwe, Mozambique, DR Congo and Togo, who all made sure of their progress.
But Kenya, Tanzania, Seychelles and Burundi have been eliminated from the race to South Africa 2013.
The winners go through to the final round of qualifying later this year.
Ethiopia showed that their revival is no fluke - following up a fine couple of performances in World Cup qualifying with a solid display in Cotonou.
They went behind against Benin but bounced back to equalise in difficult conditions, and held on for a 1-1 draw which takes them through on away goals.
The draw for the next round of qualifying will be made in July and will feature the teams who have been successful this weekend, plus the winners of the tie between Egypt and CAR, and those sides who competed at this year's Nations Cup in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
