Sidama Bunna has officially clinched the 2025/2026 CBE Ethiopian Premier League title, marking the first championship victory in the football club’s history. This milestone achievement cements their place at the top of Ethiopian football following a highly competitive season.
The definitive moment arrived following a 1-1 draw against Negele Arsi. This crucial point brought Sidama Bunna’s total to an insurmountable 65 points in the league standings. Consequently, the team secured the prestigious trophy with two full matchdays still remaining on the tournament schedule.
This triumph represents a monumental breakthrough for Sidama Bunna, as it is their maiden Premier League title. By winning the league, they have become the 11th distinct club to claim the silverware since the Ethiopian Premier League was restructured into its modern format back in 1997/98 (1990 Ethiopian Calendar).
Looking ahead to international competitions, this victory guarantees the club a spot on the continental stage. Sidama Bunna will officially represent Ethiopia in the upcoming CAF Champions League tournament, competing against the top football clubs across Africa next season.
The historic campaign may still yield more silverware for the newly crowned champions. The club is currently preparing for the Ethiopian Cup final, where they have an opportunity to secure a domestic double and cap off a remarkable year.
