(Excerpt from the book ‘The Greek community in the horn of Africa’)
On January 7th, 1935 George Doucas and Ayele Atnash established the football club of St George in the Arada neighbourhood of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. The first team consisted of Ethiopians and Greeks coming mainly from mixed marriages. George Doucas was the first goalkeeper. During the Fascist Italian occupation in Ethiopia, the club became the symbol of the Ethiopian nationalism.
