The purpose of this research was to evaluate sport motivations on a sample age ranges of 18-32 from both team (Football players) and Individual (Athletics: - Short, Middle and Long Distance Athletes, and Jumpers and Throwers) sport athletes from Ethiopian premier league players and first division athletes in the competition year of 2016/17. The total sampled of 495 team sport athletes were 231 and individual sports athletes were 264. Team sport males were 121 and females were 110. Individual sport athletes and 148 male and 116 female athletes included. An independent t-test was conducted to examine intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation and Amotivation differences by comparing team and individual sports across Ethiopia, Leven’s Test Equal variances, p ≥ 0.05, and p ≤ 0.05. Data was processed by SPSS 16.0 version. The sport motivation in this research was developed as an intrinsic motivation (to know, to accomplish and to experience stimulation), extrinsic motivation (by identification, introjection and external regulation) and amotiva­tion for sport (Deci & Ryan, 2000). There was no significant difference with respect to intrinsic mo­tivation regardless of their sport types. The Sport Motivation Scale (SMS-28) includes 28 items in total which are assessed by the respondents on a 7-point Likert-type scale. Four items each mea­sure the aspects of intrinsic motivation (to know, to accomplish and to experience stimulation), the aspec­ts of extrinsic motivation (by identification, introjec­tion and external regulation) and amotivation for sports. No differences were existed in intrinsic, extrinsic motivation and Amotivation which indicated a potential specificity for engaging in team and individual sport activities in Ethiopia athletes.
