In general terms, it is in whatever direction you're facing.

I expect you ask because of the requirement that the ball is kicked forward on a kick-off. The definition on a kick-off is "more towards the opponent's goal line than your own."

The ball must move forward on the initial kick. Forward is "towards the opponent's goal line."
