A penalty kick is awarded against a team that commits one of the ten offences for which a direct free kick is awarded, inside its own penalty area and while the ball is in play.

 

A goal may be scored directly from a penalty kick. Additional time is allowed for a penalty kick to be taken at the end of each half or at the end of periods of extra time.

 

Position of the Ball and the Players

The ball:

  • is placed on the penalty mark

The player taking the penalty kick:

  • is properly identified

 

The defending goalkeeper:

  • remains on his goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts until the ball has been kicked

 

The players other than the kicker are located:

  • inside the field of play
  • outside the penalty area
  • behind the penalty mark
  • at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the penalty mark

The Referee

  • does not signal for a penalty kick to be taken until the players have taken up position in accordance with the Law
  • decides when a penalty kick has been completed

Procedure

  • the player taking the penalty kicks the ball forward
  • he does not play the ball a second time until it has touched another player
  • the ball is in play when it is kicked and moves forward

 

When a penalty kick is taken during the normal course of play, or time has been extended at half-time or full time to allow a penalty kick to be taken or retaken, a goal is awarded if, before passing between the goalposts and under the crossbar:

  • the ball touches either or both of the goalposts and/or the crossbar, and/or the goalkeeper
