Senior national team call-up

Akando was the only new player in the 28-member preliminary squad. At the time of his call-up, he was 23 years old and was playing regularly for Brothers Union.[1][5]
His inclusion attracted attention because the squad already contained goalkeepers Mitul Marma, Mehedi Hasan Srabon and Sujan Hossain.[6]
Cabrera explained Akando's selection by saying that the coaching staff wanted to provide opportunities to young goalkeepers and considered Akando suitable for the team's style of play.[7]
Bangla Tribune subsequently published a feature on Akando following his first senior national-team call-up, in which he discussed the prospect of training alongside members of the Bangladesh squad.[6]
