Kenya U-20 assistant coach Anthony Akhulia has disclosed that the team will learn from their mistakes after their exit from the 2025 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Rising Stars drew their final Group B game against the Flying Eagles to finish bottom on one point after losing their opening two games to Morocco and Tunisia.
Speaking with Flashscore, Akhulia stated that Kenya failed to progress from the group due to errors made by the players.

“As much as we moved to camp and prepared for the tournament for more than two months, we reached Egypt and noticed that any slight mistake that you commit, you get punished for it, and this is a very different level of football,” Akhulia told Flashscore.
“Again, there was VAR. We committed mistakes thinking that it was not a mistake from our point of view, but when reviewed, it became a mistake, and we got punished, so I think we have learned a lot as coaches, and also the players have picked up some vital lessons from the tournament. There are things that we take for granted, but when you reach a high level of football, it becomes a different ball game.”
