We are excited to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Maffi Racing and the Ethiopian Motor Sport Association (EMSA)-a member organization of the FIA. This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in the development of motorsports in Ethiopia. Together, Maffi Racing and EMSA aim to train, develop, and promote the next generation of Ethiopian motorsports talent, including drivers, mechanics, engineers, and technicians.

Through this collaboration, the two organizations will work hand-in-hand to identify and nurture emerging talents, creating more opportunities for Ethiopian and African youth, particularly women, to engage with and excel in the motorsports industry. The partnership will focus on offering high-level training programs, technical workshops, and hands-on experiences, with a strong emphasis on inclusivity and youth engagement.

By introducing innovative programs and expanding the horizons of Ethiopian motorsports, this partnership will elevate the country's standing and representation in the international motorsports community but also foster a new era of motorsport enthusiasts and professionals within Ethiopia and the region. An exchange program that will provide Ethiopians the opportunity to attend educational events in Europe and experience high-level racing will be established. Equally the exchange program will enable knowledge transfer of Motorsports, widely from the international Motorsport community to Ethiopians.

Stay tuned for more details on upcoming initiatives and events as Maffi Racing and the Ethiopian Motor Sport Association gear up to make history in Ethiopia's motorsport landscape.
