What type of free kick is awarded for an offside in soccer?

Answer 1

A free kick is given when a player commits any direct or indirect free kick offense, as defined in the Laws of the Game. These include pushing or tripping opponents, handling the ball, and so on.

Answer 2

There are two kinds of freekicks in soccer: direct and indirect. A direct freekick can be a shot at the goal, or a pass to another player. An indirect freekick must touch another player before attempting a goal. The freekick is awarded after a foul or penalty, and the opposing team must be 10 yards from the ball. The kick is performed from the location where the foul occurred; if the foul was within the goal area, then the freekick starts there.

Answer 3

When play is stopped for an offside offense, play is restarted with an indirect free kick from the spot where the offending player was when his teammate last played the ball, which may be quite some distance from the location of the ball or player when play is finally stopped. If the placement of the ball is within the goal area, the ball may be placed anywhere inside the goal area (similar to a goal kick, except that it is indirect). If the placement of the ball is within the penalty area (including the goal area), the ball is not in play and may not be touched again by any player until it travels directly out of the penalty area. As with any free kick, the player taking the kick may not touch the ball again until it has touched another player. As with any indirect free kick, a goal may not be scored until the ball touches another player (if the ball goes directly into the opponent's goal, the restart is a goal kick). As with any free kick, an own-goal may not be scored directly, and play would be restarted with a corner kick if it happens.
