Ethiopia was formerly one of Africa's major forces, and played in every Africa Cup of Nations until the end of 1960s. Ethiopia themselves also won an AFCON tournament, the 1962 edition, when they were the hosts. Since then, success has started to fade from Ethiopia's football and after 1982, Ethiopia would have to wait until 2013, when the country qualified for the final tournament after a 31-year absence.
