Biography In February 2024, Eyob was the first Ethiopian finisher, and fifth overall, in the men’s U20 race at the 2024 African Cross Country Championships in Hammamet, Tunisia. Eyob placed fourth at the Jan Meda International Cross Country held over 10 km on November 9, 2025, in Addis Ababa and was subsequently announced in the Ethiopian team for the 2026 World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Tallahassee. However, the Ethiopian team was beset by VISA issues resulting in many of the squad being unable to travel to take part.

The following month, he ran 59:42 to place fifth at the Barcelona half marathon. In April, he placed second in 27:55 behind compatriot Biniam Mehary competing on the road at the 10 km en Ruta Villa de Laredo in Spain.
