Teixeira who has 15 years’ experience working in football also helped organise last week's Ethiopia Walia Ibex International friendly that they lost 1-0 to Angola away in Luanda. He has also organized more than 250 football events around the world the last one of which involved taking Italian Seria A team Hellas Verona to make a stage in Brazil.
"It has taken a lot of effort to organise the friendlies for Ethiopia in conjunction with the federation. I have catered for all the expenses while the federation will only pay for the tickets to and from Addis Ababa. I am trying to help Ethiopia under their new coach Mariano Barreto to meet their objective of once again qualifying for the 2015 Afcon in Morocco."
