THE GUEST OF HONORS

Mengistu spent his entire club playing career with Saint George FC, where he started at the age of 16.  He played 115 times for the Ethiopian national team and scored a record 68 goals. He played a pivotal role in helping Ethiopia win its only African Nations Cup when the third edition was held in Ethiopia in 1962.
