5 players have no country on their profile, so they are counted in the player total but in no country’s row.
Players by country
Where AFCL's players are registered. Spellings are folded onto one federation, so a profile reading “Zim” counts as Zimbabwe.
Registered players over time
Every AFCL profile, by the month it was created.
AFCL is one month old — there is not yet a line to draw.
