Analysis of CONCACAF Gold Cup Teams

Here’s a look at all of the teams in this year’s edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Using k-means clustering, I created three groupings of the teams: the juggernauts of CONCACAF, the mediocre CONCACAF teams, and the smaller CONCACAF teams. If you had to pick a way to identify three clusters of teams within this region, I think this is a pretty accurate method, especially for being a machine learning model, so I’m excited to use this introductory analysis as a backbone for potentially more detailed data visualizations in the future.
