The 2021-2022 African club competitions, whose qualifying draws are scheduled for Cairo on Friday, will retain the away-goals system despite Europe scrapping the rule.
Some African football followers believed the change was introduced by world governing body FIFA and applied to all continents. In Europe, an additional 30 minutes are played at the ground of the side hosting the return match and, if the teams are still tied on aggregate, a penalty shootout decides the winners.
There are 10 other former champions in the field, including two five-time title-holders, TP Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zamalek of Egypt. The 51-club CAF Confederation Cup field includes the 2021 runners-up JS Kabylie of Algeria and the losing semi-finalists, Coton Sport of Cameroon and Pyramids of Egypt.
