Harambee Stars midfielder Anthony Akumu has shared a special reason why he was left in tears after Kenya failed to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
Harambee Stars midfielder Anthony ‘Teddy’ Akumu has revealed how missing out on the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations left him shedding tears.
Akumu was part of former coach Engin Firat’s team that failed to qualify for AFCON 2025 from a group that had Cameroon, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
Kenya left themselves short when a goalless draw with Zimbabwe followed by a 2-1 win against Namibia gave them little hope but back-to-back losses to Cameroon made their task hard and they needed to beat the Warriors in their penultimate match to revive their hopes.
However, with Zimbabwe needing just a draw to qualify, they got just that, a 1-1 stalemate at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, South Africa to leave Harambee Stars licking their wounds.

'I play for him'- Ronney Onyango out to make his late father proud after being unveiled by Norwegian club
Ronney Onyango has officially joined Sogndal Fotball with the aim of honouring his late father.
The elimination was particularly painful for Akumu, who had been part of the Kenyan team that qualified for their last AFCON in 2019, but missed out in heartbreaking fashion when he did not make the final squad.
PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Athletics News in Kenya from Pulse Sports.
“I had really wanted to qualify because in 2019, I narrowly missed out on the final squad,” Akumu told Telecomasia.net.
“It was painful not to make the cut and missing out on qualification for this year’s tournament was even more painful.
“I cried after the Zimbabwe match because I had really wanted us to qualify and it meant a lot for me. It was tough to take for the team because we knew we had a chance to do so.”

Former Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry unleashes scathing criticism of local Kenyan players
Johnathan McKinstry has unleashed a scathing criticism of local Kenyan players in regards to securing moves abroad compared to their West African counterparts.
The 32-year-old is hoping that Harambee Stars, now under South African coach Benni McCarthy, can learn from that painful lesson and ensure the next AFCON in 2027, which will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania is a success.
Akumu got the nod from McCarthy for Kenya’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers against The Gambia and Gabon last month and will hope to play regularly for his Iranian club Kheybar Khorramabad to earn more future national team call-ups.
