Shire Endaselassie FC made its first appearance in Ethiopia's top football division in 2018, just six years after its foundation. The club comes from Shire, in the Tigray Region, and is also known as Suhul Shire or Sihul Shire. Its early history includes a steady rise through Ethiopia's lower divisions, with promotion to the Higher League in 2016.
The biggest breakthrough came in the 2017/18 Higher League season, when Shire finished second in Group A behind Bahir Dar City. The team collected 54 points from 30 matches, with 15 victories and only six defeats. That result earned Shire a promotion playoff against Jimma Aba Buna, held in Hawassa in September 2018. Shire won the match and secured its first place in the Ethiopian Premier League.
During its debut top-flight season, Shire finished 13th with 34 points and managed to avoid relegation. The club also competed in the following campaign, before the conflict in Tigray interrupted its participation in national football. Shire eventually returned to the Premier League for the 2024/25 season after several years away from the competition. That campaign brought victories against Adama City and Mekelle 70 Enderta, alongside draws against established opponents. The team finished 17th, but remained in the division after the league expanded its membership.
Ethiopian league football also has a place in the betting market, particularly through the country's better-known domestic clubs. The best sports betting platforms in Ethiopia are worth examining for their welcome bonuses and new customer promotions. A decent introductory deal could be a welcome discovery for anyone interested in domestic football.
