Ebba Tulu Chala (born 22 June 1996)[1] is a Swedish athlete who competes in the marathon. He was born in Ethiopia and emigrated as a child.

Chala is an Oromo from near Bekoji, where the altitude is between 2,500 and 3,000 metres.[2] and although he was not a runner, he walked between one and two hours each way to school. He found his way to refugee accommodation in Salem, near Stockholm, where he stayed for a year.[2] Two months after his arrival, at Sågbäcksgymnasiet [sv], his school in Huddinge Municipality, he tried running and discovered he was very fast.[3]
