Ethiopia Football:
Oumed Oukri, a star in the making

08 December, 2010 | Ethio Sports
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – His
    name is Oumed Oukri and he hails
    from the beautiful region of
    Gambela, in southwest Ethiopia.
    He is the midfield dynamo and
    goal scorer for top Ethiopian
    Premier League side, Mekelakeya
    (Defence Force FC), the Army
    team.

    Oumed has scored 3 goals in 6
    games in the current Premier
    League competition, where his
team is currently sharing top spot with Ethiopian coffee.

While no one can deny his ability in the domestic league, there were
some skeptics who wonder whether he can have the same impact in
international competitions. Well, they don’t need to wonder no
more. Oumed has finally arrived and there is nothing stopping this
young and very promising player.

He was instrumental in Ethiopia’s victory over Kenya delivering a
beautiful through pass to Shimelis Bekele which allowed the
Hawassa City striker to score his second goal of the game. His
thunderous volley shot goal against Malawi is said to be among the
candidates for the tournament’s “Best Goals” and he scored a vital
goal against Zambia, which proved to be the winning goal of the
match for Ethiopia.

When Ethiopia faces the Ivory Coast in the semi-final on Thursday,
all eyes will be on Oumed. EthioSports.com wishes him and his
teammates great success.
