Speaking at a ceremony here, Junedin Basha, President of Ethiopian Football Federation (EFF), said the event would be a big draw in a football-mad nation. The 2018 FIFA World Cup trophy tour kicked off last September in host country Russia and will visit more than 50 countries across six continents, travelling 126,000 kilometers in nine months leading to the football tournament. The 2018 FIFA World Cup will be held from June 14 to July 15, 2018 in Russia. Ethiopia has never qualified for a FIFA World Cup, with the national football team struggling to make an impact in international events.
