by Addis Army Cricket 2 April 2020
Welcome to the official website of The Addis Army, a bunch of cricket fans that follow the England cricket team all round the world on every England tour. Our group was formed back on the 2004/05 tour to South Africa when for reasons best known to ourselves, we went to South Africa via Addis Ababa on the glorious Ethiopian Airlines.
 
We are a non-profit making group and we have found that if you keep things informal and just join with others that love the beautiful game, that works best.
 
If you want to join in the fun, you don’t have to go to Ethiopia (even though we love that country) and you don’t have to pay a membership fee! Just get in touch.
 
This is our official website, read on and enjoy and if you see us at games at home and abroad please come over and join us for a beer or two…but don’t do that after tea as you may not get too much sense out of us!
