History
The Kagnew Battalions, formed during the Korean War, hold a storied history of bravery and resilience. Originating from the Ethiopian Imperial Bodyguard Division, these troops, named after Emperor Haile Selassie's father's warhorse, played a crucial role in the conflict. Remarkably, the Kagnew stood out as the only UN troops that the Chinese or North Koreans couldn't capture alive. Their engagements, totaling 238 with zero defeats, showcased their strategic brilliance. The battalion's commitment extended to retrieving fallen comrades and establishing an orphanage for Korean children. Their legacy includes numerous honors, such as a US Presidential Unit Citation and an impressive night patrol record. The Kagnew Battalions not only defended freedom but left an indelible mark on military history.
In a modern context, Kagnew F.C., established in November 2022, embodies the spirit of courage and values championing. Beyond football victories, the club focuses on community engagement, excellence, and unity, instilling courage and a champion mindset in players. Recent success in the 2022/23 First Division, winning every game and securing The Addis Ababa Football Federation First Division Cup, highlights the club's commitment to shaping Ethiopian football's future while upholding its historical values. With a growing legacy, Kagnew F.C. stands as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring athletes and football enthusiasts alike, fostering a sense of pride and unity within the community.
