Uefa, canceled the rule of the goal that is worth double away

by admin

With the same goals scored between home and back, those scored away from home will no longer be worth double. It starts from the 2021-2022 season, Ceferin: “The law dissuaded the home teams, especially in the first leg, from attacking”

From the 2021/22 season, the away goals rule in all UEFA club competitions will no longer apply. The rule, according to which since 1965 the goals scored away from home are worth double when two teams have scored the same number of times between home and away, has been abolished by the UEFA Executive Committee, following the recommendation of the Competitions Committee and the one for women’s football. “It is no longer appropriate for an away goal to weigh more than one scored at home – said UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin -. The rule dissuaded the home teams, especially in the first leg, from attacking”.

“The UEFA Executive Committee has made the correct decision in adopting the opinion that it is no longer appropriate for an away goal to have more weight than one scored at home,” explained the Nyon number one. “Although there was no unanimity of opinion, many fan coaches and other football players questioned its correctness and expressed a preference for the abolition of the rule.”
