Description
This is series 20: A preview of each group and each team in the African Cup 2023 tournament.
In part 1, we give demographic information about each team.
In part 2, we offer a different level of detail depending on whether the team was covered in our African Cup 2021 series of mediacasts.
For teams who were not part of the 2021 African Cup, we offer a look at the their participation, general strength, an overview of their World Cup, African Cup and local cup histories. This series also features a deep dive into the African Cup finals history.
For those teams that were covered in the 2021 African Cup, we offer just a summary of their history. We provide a link and a time stamp to that more detailed information done for the 2021 African Cup. See those links at the bottom of the page.
For all teams, we take a look at their recent history.
In part 3, we analyze the rankings and head-to-head record of each team. We then have a discussion about the prospects of the teams.
There is also a short version of this mediacast which replaces parts 1 and 2 with a summary of each team’s history and recent form, and then includes Kevin and Conor’s discussion on the group.
