* As the one of two teams (along with Adama City) that entered the tournament via invitation, Dashen Beer were barred from lifting the actual trophy instead being presented with an alternate "special" trophy. The actual trophy was presented to the runners up, Saint George, as they were technically the best team from Addis Ababa in the tournament that year.[3]
