Types of Free Kicks
Free kicks are either direct or indirect.
For both direct and indirect free kicks, the ball must be stationary
when the kick is taken and the kicker does not touch the ball a second time
until it has touched another player.
The Direct Free Kick
- if a direct free kick is kicked directly into the opponents' goal, a goal is
awarded
- if a direct free kick is kicked directly into the team's own goal, after the
ball is in play, a corner kick is awarded to the opposing team
The Indirect Free Kick:
Signal
The
referee indicates an indirect free kick by raising his arm above his head. He
maintains his arm in that position until the kick has been taken and the ball
has touched another player or goes out of play.
Ball Enters the
Goal
A goal can be scored only if the ball subsequently touches
another player before it enters the goal.
- if an indirect free kick is kicked directly into the opponents' goal, a goal
kick is awarded
- if an indirect free kick is kicked directly into the team's own goal, after
the ball is in play, a corner kick is awarded to the opposing team
Position of Free Kick:
Free Kick Inside the Penalty Area
Direct or indirect free kick
to the defending team:
- all opponents are at least 9.15m (10yds) from the ball
- all opponents remain outside the penalty area until the ball is in play
- the ball is in play when it is kicked directly beyond the penalty area
- a free kick awarded in the goal area is taken from any point inside that
area
Indirect free kick to the attacking team:
- all opponents are at least 9.15m (10yds) from the ball until it is in play,
unless they are on their own goal line between the goalposts
- the ball is in play when it is kicked and moves
- an indirect free kick awarded inside the goal area is taken from that part
of the goal area line which runs parallel to the goal line, at the point nearest
to where the infringement occurred
Free Kick Outside the Penalty Area
- all opponents are at least 9.15m (10yds) from the ball until it is in play
- the ball is in play when it is kicked and moves
- the free kick is taken from where the infringement occurred
Infringements/Sanctions
If, when a free kick is taken, an
opponent is closer to the ball than the required distance:
If, when a free kick is taken by the defending
team from inside its own penalty area, the ball is not kicked directly into
play:
Free kick taken by a player other than the goalkeeper
If, after
the ball is in play, the kicker touches the ball a second time (except with his
hands) before it has touched another player:
an indirect free kick is
awarded to the opposing team, the kick to be taken from the place where the
infringement occurred *
If, after the ball is in play, the kicker
deliberately handles the ball before it has touched another player:
- a direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team, the kick to be taken
from the place where the infringement occurred*
- a penalty kick is awarded if the infringement occurred inside the kicker's
penalty area
Free kick taken by the goalkeeper
If, after the ball is in play,
the goalkeeper touches the ball a second time (except with his hands), before it
has touched another player:
- an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team, the kick to be taken
from the place where the infringement occurred*
If, after the ball is
in play, the goalkeeper deliberately handles the ball before it has touched
another player:
- a direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if the infringement
occurred outside the goalkeeper's penalty area, the kick to be taken from the
place where the infringement occurred*
- an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if the infringement
occurred inside the goalkeeper's penalty area, the kick to be taken from the
place where the infringement occurred*
