Description

This is series 31: A preview of each group and each team in the 2025 African Cup. This episode looks at group C: Nigeria, Tunisia, Uganda and Tanzania.

This mediacast is divided into 3 parts:

Part 1 – An introduction of each country giving the location, population, soccer age and nickname of each.

Part 2 – An overview of each team’s history and a deep dive into their recent performances.

Part 3 - A comparison of the teams in ranking, head-to-head records, and a discussion of their prospects and our predictions.

Shortly after the full versions come out, we will publish short version which will also be considered part of series 30. This will just be part 3 of the full version.

We are also publishing a deep dive into the players of each team. This is done in two parts:

Part 1 is a look at the candidates: their likelihood of selection and the reasons why. We also give a career biography of the main candidates.

Part 2 is published when the final rosters are released and covers who made the final squad and our predictions as to starts.
