There are divided opinions on whether Caf should follow suit and abolish the rule from their major competitions
On Thursday, June 24, Uefa announced the abolishment of the away goal rule in their competitions from the 2021/22 season onward.
It brought to an end a rule that has been used in European competitions since the 1965-66 season when it was used in the Cup Winners' Cup.
Those who were against it argued that the rule was restrictive to those playing at home, especially in the first leg of knockout ties, and that scoring goals away from home almost counted for double.
