    (Addis Ababa University, 2018-06-02) Seid, Esmael; Asgedom, Tesfay (PhD)
    The purpose of this study is to assess the causes and prevention of football violence in the case of Addis Ababa Premier League football clubs. The sample of the subject consists of54randomly selected Spectators in Addis Ababa Stadium. And 5 referees of the Ethiopian Premier League and 5 officials(administrators) of the Ethiopian Football Federation are selected to participation in an interview. To conduct this research, both quantitative and qualitative methods are employed. In this line with this, the Spectators were participating by filling both open and close ended questionnaire while the referees and the administrators were participating in interview. The result of the study indicates that the causes of football violence in the Addis Ababa Premier League clubs are the club leaders‘ unethical behavior, the federation‘s shortcomings in implementing the rules and regulations and creating enough awareness, the referees‘ unfair decision in different games and the players‘ and spectators‘ emotional reactions toward the referee‘s decision. Non-applicability of the rules and regulations and the lack of awareness in the sporting events are the major causes of the violence in the Ethiopian Premier League games. For this at least to minimize the football violence in Ethiopian Premier League games, The Federation should make fundamental penalty revision and then tightening of rules, imposing of penalties and changing of reinforcement patterns could answer to inhabiting violence in football. The football club leaders and the players should expect result of the games as normally as they don‘t feel violence related emotional actions. They shouldn‘t expect results they don‘t deserve.
