The penalty area is the larger of the two areas marked by lines in front of the goal. It measures 18 yards (16.5 m) deep by 44 yards (40.23 m) wide.
Within this area the defensive goal keeper may handle the ball legally and any offense by a defender, against an attacker, which would normally be punishable by a direct free kick will instead be punished with a penalty kick.
