Welcome to the Official Website of the Addis Army

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.

The group was formed back on the 2004/05 tour to South Africa when for reasons best known to themselves, they went to South Africa via Addis Ababa on the glorious Ethiopian Airlines.

In 2006 we received official recognition from former England captain Michael Vaughan and in Australia from England batsman Ian Bell (thanks for the drinks Belly!). King of swing Matthew Hoggard gave his backing to the Army over a game of pool in the back streets of Pakistan.

This is our official website, read on and enjoy and if you see us at games please come over and join us for a beer or two.
