∙ 11y agoIf a foul is given within the penalty arc (the D-shaped bit at the top and center of the penalty area), it will not result in a penalty kick. The area enclosed by the arc is not part of the penalty area. The arc's only purpose is to ensure that players remain 10 yards away from the ball during penalty kicks.
Three types of kicks in soccer are penalty kick, free kick, and corner kick. A penalty kick happens when a foul is committed in the penalty area, a free kick is awarded after a foul outside the penalty area, and a corner kick is given when the defending team plays the ball over their own goal line.
A free kick takes place from the spot where the foul occurred. If the foul happened outside the penalty area, the free kick is taken from that spot. If the foul occurred inside the penalty area, the free kick is taken from the nearest point on the penalty area line.
It would depend on who committed the foul. A foul committed by a defender, against an attacker, in the penalty area is a penalty kick for the attackers. A foul committed by an attacker, against a defender, in the penalty area is a direct free kick for the defense.
If a foul is committed inside the goal area then it is also inside the penalty area. Any foul normally punishable by a direct free kick that is committed inside the penalty area by the defense is changed to a penalty kick.
When a foul, specifically a direct free kick offense, is committed by a defender, against an attacker, in the penalty area.
A foul does not have to be near the ball. A foul must occur (1) by a player, (2) on the field of play, (3) against an opponent, and (4) while the ball is in play. If the foul you describe is by a defender, against an attacker, in the defender's penalty area then play is stopped and a penalty kick awarded. Depending on the severity, it could also be misconduct.
The ball exiting the field across the goal line is not a foul. The restart would be a kick off, goal kick, or corner kick depending on who touched it last, which goal line, and whether it went in the goal.
A direct free kick or a penalty kick depending on where the foul occurred.
A foul that resulted in a penalty kick.
Here there will be no penalty given, only a direct free kick from the location of the foul.
In precise usage, a foul is one of the direct free kick offenses that is performed by a player, against an opponent, on the field, and during active play.Indirect free kick offenses are not referred to as fouls. Deliberate handling, a direct free kick offense, is also not usually referred to as a foul since it is not against an opponent.
A direct free kick (or DFK) is awarded when the opposing team has committed a penal foul as defined in Law 12 outside of their own defensive penalty area.
