This June window the group stage starts in the qualification for the AFCON 2023 in Cote d'Ivoire in June next year. In March preliminary play-offs were played to wittle the 54 entered African teams down to 48. Now the group stage with 12 groups of 4 teams starts with two matchdays in June, two in September and two in March next year. The 12 group winners and runners-up qualify for the 24-team continental final.
Notes:
- Host Cote d'Ivoire participates in this qualification. In their group H only the highest ranked team, besides the host, qualifies.
- Kenya and Zimbabwe were included in the group stage draw but last week suspended for this tournament after all because their ongoing FIFA suspension -because of unpermitted governmental interference with the national football association- wasn't lifted in time. Thus, groups C and K are reduced to 3 teams, of which the best 2 qualify.
Here are the probabilities (in %) -generated over 10.000 simulations- with all match-results based on NT prediction formula's for goals scored in a match depending on elo win expectancy.
