Ankamafio featured prominently for Copenhagen’s U19 side during the first half of the 2025/2026 season before earning a promotion to the first team ahead of the second round of the campaign.

His inclusion in the squad for the high-profile Champions League tie against Napoli marks another significant milestone in the young defender’s career.
