Indirect free kicks in soccer are awarded for less serious fouls, such as obstruction or dangerous play. Some examples include when a player plays in a dangerous manner, impedes an opponent without making contact, or commits a technical offense like offside.
The main difference between indirect and direct free kicks is that for an indirect free kick, the ball must touch another player before a goal can be scored. This means that the ball cannot go directly into the goal from the kick, whereas in a direct free kick, a goal can be scored without the ball touching another player.
