The club was promoted to the Ethiopian Premier League, the top tier of football in Ethiopia, after the end of the 2015-16 season. However, the success was short lived as a poor 2016-17 campaign saw the club being relegated back to the Ethiopian Higher League.[1]
The club is funded and run by the local city government.[2]
During the 2016-17 season the club was accused of mistreatment after allegedly refusing to facilitate two Cameroon players way back to Cameroon after aborted trials.[3]
