AFCON '25 Qualifiers (Post-September Window)

Sup y'all-

The first set of 3 two-match windows is in the books for AFCON Qualifying, and nothing too wild has happened (as compared to normal CAF chaos anyway).  Of the 24 teams most likely to qualify, 19 are AFCON '23 teams, with the 5 newer teams being Uganda, Gabon, Kenya, Benin, and Sudan.  Obviously there are a lot more games to play (namely 4) but the field is starting to narrow!

The Model

Group Stage

Window Deltas

Tanzania, Angola, and Uganda were the big gainers during this window... all of them vaulting into the upper echelon of likely qualifiers despite not being traditional African powerhouses.

I'll be here with some more analysis once the next matches kick off in October!!
