FIFA removed the golden goal rule from football (soccer) in 2002 due to various reasons, including criticisms of the rule's impact on the style of play, fairness, and the potential for negative tactics.
They thought that introducing the golden goal rule would encourage teams to attack. In fact, it had the opposite effect. Teams saw the cost of conceding more vividly than they saw the benefit of scoring. After the rule was introduced, teams just sat back and waited for penalties.
In February 2004, the IFAB announced that, after Euro 2004, both the golden goal and silver goal methods would be removed from the Laws of the Game.
In the end, the demise of the Golden Goal always seemed inevitable, and after the futile attempt with the Silver Goal in 2004, both were put to bed for good, and the traditional full 30 minutes of extra-time, comprised of two 15-minute halves, was restored in the 2006 World Cup.

The golden goal was introduced at the FIFA World Cup™ for the first time at France '98, with Laurent Blanc scoring after 114 minutes to instantly end the hosts' Round-of-16 meeting with Paraguay.
The away goal rule in the Champions League was abolished on June 24, 2021. Why was away goal rule removed? The away goal rule in the Champions League was removed after UEFA felt it was inappropriate 'for an away goal to carry more weight than one scored at home.

This lasted just four years, however, with the Association disbanding in 1960 after being suspended from FIFA for the poaching of players from overseas. In 1961 the 'Australian Soccer Federation' (ASF) was formed, and was admitted to FIFA in 1963 after outstanding fines had been paid.
