Event in the Washington, DC metro area, we are very pleased to announce that the ESFNA vs. ESFNAONE case has been settled. The victory we celebrated when the U.S. Federal court issued a Temporary Restraining Order last year is now PERMANENT. ESFNA, the one and only historical Federation of its kind will exclusively keep its name and history. The innovative Federation that began with a vision of Bringing Ethiopians Together™ will now go back to solely focusing on serving its people. As we have throughout our rich history, even when we had growing pains we have always stood with the Ethiopian people and continue to do so. Our compass has always and by virtue of our bylaws and governance continues to guide us in the direction of improving our community in our own way.
With this case completely behind us, we are more than ever focused on making the 30th year celebration spectacular. As we announced in an earlier press release, the week-long event will take place from June 30 to July 6, 2013, in Washington DC. We are currently evaluating hotel contracts to get the best value for our-of-town guests. As soon as the final selections are made, we will post information on our website (www.ESFNA.net). We invite and encourage Ethiopians and friends of Ethiopia to join us during the week of our events so that we can all celebrate our heritage and our 30th year together.

Ethiopian Sports Federation in North America (ESFNA): Bringing Ethiopians Together
ESFNA prides itself in creating a unique stage where Ethiopians of all backgrounds, ethnicity, religions and political convictions can come together to celebrate our long enduring unique heritage and diversity that has become our strength through the millenniums. Our goal and vision over the past 30 years has been to maintain ESFNA’s annual festivities as the Mecca where ALL Ethiopians and supporters can come together once a year to create our own mini Ethiopia in the land of our refuge.
Founded in 1984, ESFNA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promote the rich Ethiopian culture and heritage as well as building positive environments within Ethiopian-American communities in North America. Its mission is Bringing Ethiopians Together to network, support the business community, empower the young by providing scholarships and mentoring program, primarily using soccer tournaments, other sports activities and cultural events as vehicles. ESFNA, by virtue of its status is non-political, non-religious and non-ethnic. We adhered to this position all along as legally expected and aligned with our bylaws.
