They once thought of playing a single final game in a neutral venue, but that doesn't work in Africa (think of what Chelsea and Arsenal fans went through in Baku).

It is easier to travel between European countries than it is to travel between African countries. You can easily travel between European countries by train and you don't need a visa.

Furthermore, Europeans generally have more disposable income than Africans and they can easily afford to travel to watch matches in other countries.


CAF thought about having a single final, but they abandoned the idea after their experience in the African Super Cup. African Super Cup finals were often played in almost empty stadiums. The 1994 African Super Cup match between Zamalek and Al Ahly (the two biggest teams in Africa) attracted only 12,000 fans. The game was played in South Africa and both teams are from Egypt.


After that experience, CAF decided that Super Cup matches must be played at the home of the winner of the Champions League, in order to ensure that spectators come to the stadium.

Copa Libertadores of South America is played twice, home n away. Every confederation must not do it like europe

TheAlchemist:


why do you pay different toll fare for suv and sedan? Is all about the money!

Pablonkor:

Everything balls back to the lack of footballing spirit in Africa

Pablonkor:

And this is one reason why European football has kept on dominating

wasi9ice:
If the team that was declared winner and handed trophy and medals should go to court of competent jurisdiction, they may win.

Shame on all those that support Esperance and the decision of the referee last week. Almost 99% of nairalanders here commented and went against Wydad decision to a abandon the match saying what's their problem that the match can be done without a referee. Now they are saying the otherwise

Andersonjr:
Chaii Africa, after awarding it to the other team and imagine the celebration and all the street parade they've done then they later lost the rematch

Buhari effect on the continent


Confusion everywhere

DSoj:
Perfect decision. U cant rob a team and a nation in the name of sports. If u gonna win or lose... it should be fair. Footballers are humans too.

wirinet:

It's a wrong precedent to over rule the referee's decision on the field of play. The referee should have the final decision. Even though I support the use of VAR in football, VAR should only assist the referee and not take the place of the referee. Football had been played before VAR, and we had lived with bad decisions by incompetent, bias or corrupt referees for decades. It's all part of the game. If the referee erred, the referee can be banned or sanctioned, but the sanctity of the referee must be preserved.

You see that's why Nigeria is where we are. We support evil as much as it doesn't concern us. Bad is bad no need sugar coating it because it doesn't affect you directly..

naptu2:



But England FA will still get home before any meeting!

I hope you know and they didn't tell us it's the same hotel they had the FIFA president program.

It's not too good

TOPCRUISE:




What is evil there. I support the replay decision 100 percent. They use VAR in the first leg and yet the ref disallowed a goal and failed to award a penalty – both after consulting VAR.. Wydad did not complain.
Now that they scored their away goal in the second leg you all expect them to keep quiet when the refree disallowed it.
That is a perfect demonstration of our MUMU Don do displayed by wydad
