History

Foundation (1976–1983)

Ethiopian Coffee Sport Club has its origins in 1976, when the employees of Kefa Coffee Processing decided to establish a football club. After gathering the required number of players, the club was registered as Coffee Board Sport Club on the kebele level in order to take part in local tournaments. The club then moved to playing in the AEWA Factory workers Association level, the third division of Ethiopian football at the time. Funded largely by the Kefa factory workers at the time, the club offered its players employment at the factory as an incentive to keep them at the club. As a result, players would work the morning shift at the factory and then play football in the evenings. Thus, the first official name of the club became, "Yenegat Kokebe" (lit.'Morning Star') in reference to early raising factory workers who were also part-time footballers.

The clubs second name was "Yebuna Gebeya (Coffee Market) Sport Club" .The club amassed an impressive four trophies and one fair play award during its first 6 years.

Restructure (1983–1997)

In 1984, the Addis Ababa Sports council was created in an effort to reorganize clubs in the city. As a result, the club officially changed its name to Ethiopian Coffee Sports Club under the management of the National Coffee Trading Corporation, then a government enterprise. For the next ten years the club would stagnate in the second division of Ethiopian football.

In 1994, with better financial backing, the club was able to sign top talents like Million Begashaw from Maritime and Mengistu Bogale from Berta S.C. These new signings helped the club earn promotion to the first division by virtue of winning the second division. In 1995, the club was restructured with financial support coming from the Ethiopian coffee exporters and by its steadily growing supporters.

First league title (1997–2010)

The club won the first division title for the first time in its history in the 1996–97 season.By virtue of winning their first title, the club represented Ethiopia in the 1998 CAF Champions League. That same year, Aseged Tesfaye became the first player In CAF Champions League history to score five goals in a single match against St. Michel United FC (Seychelles) in an 8–2 preliminary round win. Tesfaye's record still holds to date.

Return to glory (2010–2013)

Ethiopian Coffee were triumphant in their 2010–11 campaign, winning the Ethiopian Premier League Title. The club had to defeat Muger Cement F.C. on the last match day to secure its first Premier league title (second top division title).

A new approach (2013–present)

In a 2016 meeting with supporters, long time club chairman LT. Fekade Mamo stated the main priority of the club was not competing for a league title, but rather survival in the top division. At the start of the 2017–18 Season the team hired Serbian manager Kostadin Papic to a two-year contract. One month into his stay as manager, the club and Papic decided to mutually part ways after it was determined that his health condition wouldn't allow him to cope with the demands of the job. In December 2017 the club hired Frenchman Didier Gomes Da Rosa as their new manager, replacing Papic.

"Though until recently considered arch rival to the nation's oldest, richest and most popular club, Saint George," noted a writer for the Addis Ababa Capital, "Coffee in the past couple of years faced high financial constraints hardly able to sign big name players. The result has been a decade existence never winning the premier league."
