The Football Association of Slovenia has modernised the away goal rule: as in Europe, away goals are no longer valid in Slovenia
Football Association of Slovenia organised the 39th meeting of its executive committee on Tuesday, with the away goals rule on the agenda. In Slovenia, the rule was still in force last season, although – let’s say – UEFA abolished it some time ago. Now the NZS has also modernised the rule and brought it in line with international guidelines. The away goal rule is no longer in force here.
“The meeting discussed a proposal to abolish the so-called away goal rule. The IO members approved the decision to abolish the away goal rule from all club competitions under the NHS umbrella from the 2023/24 season onwards. The rule was used to determine the winner when the teams scored the same number of goals in both matches. If this rule is abolished, all goals will count the same. In the event of two matches being tied on two goals, extra time or penalty kicks will be played. Also, the criteria used to determine the final ranking when two or more teams have the same number of points will be removed. As a result of this change, certain NHS regulations will be adjusted accordingly.,” they said on their website.
