Harambee Stars midfielder Teddy Akumu talks team vibe ahead of Cameroon double-header

Harambee Stars midfielder Teddy Akumu says spirit is high in the Kenyan camp ahead of crucial double-header Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier fixture against Cameroon.

Kenya tops Group J with four points having won 2-1 against Namibia and drawn 0-0 against Zimbabwe.

The reigning FKF Premier League most valuable player, who has earned three caps for the side, has picked up an untimely injury as Harambee Stars prepare for their double-header against Cameroon.

Stars place ahead of their next opponents Cameroon on goal difference and will hope to pull further ahead with a strong showing against the Indomitabe Lions.

«As usual our confidence is high and we have very high morale. These two games are very crucial. We play away and home against Cameroon,» expressed Akumu via

Sydney Lokale has started the season on a high, scoring three goals for his new club AFC Leopards, and has shared why he chose Ingwe over foreign clubs.

The former Gor Mahia midfielder has however cautioned against being lenient in the back-to-back games.

«It is back-to-back and it is very important that we stay focused. I believe if we keep pushing ourselves and everybody gives their all then we can definitely get something from this fixture.»

Shimanyula is one of seven candidates who have thrown his hat in the ring for the position of FKF President.

Stars have been in training camp at the Police Sacco Stadium pending their travel to Cameroon.

Harambee Stars’ captain Michael Olunga has already joined the camp alongside foreign-based St Mirren’s Jonah Ayunga.

Olunga will be a key addition to the squad having missed both fixture against Namibia and Zimbambwe.

Kenya travels to Cameroon on Tuesday for the first leg of their doubleheader in Yaoundé, set to take place on Friday.

The return leg is scheduled for four days later in Kampala, Uganda, as the Harambee Stars strive to secure their place in the 2025 AFCON tournament.
