Fan View: Should Caf follow Uefa’s example and stop away goals rule?

Goal readers have had their say and popular opinion has it that the law should be scrapped from African continental tournaments

Caf should abolish the away goals rule for club and continental competitions, according to the majority of Goal readers.

European football governing body Uefa disclosed on Tuesday that the law which has been in existence since 1965 will no longer be practised as from the 2021-22 campaign.

Justifying this decision, Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin stated the rule now "runs counter to its original purpose" and claimed that it deters teams from playing attacking football.
