There are 10 direct free kick offences or "fouls":
- kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
- trips or attempts to trip an opponent
- jumps at an opponent
- charges an opponent
- strikes or attempts to strike an opponent
- pushes an opponent
- tackles an opponent
- holds an opponent
- spits at an opponent
- handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area)
- is inside the box when fouled
These must be committed by a player, against an opponent, on the field, and during active play. If any are committed by a defender, against an attacker, and within the defender's penalty area, then a penalty kick is awarded instead.
A foul may also be misconduct as well, depending on it's nature, resulting in a caution or a send off.

Can you score a goal directly from a free kick?

What is the name of the direct free kick from 12 yards in front of the goal?
A direct free kick awarded from 12 yards in front of the goal would be within the penalty area. It would have to be a kick awarded to the defense, because if a defender had committed a direct free kick offense at that location the restart would, instead, have been a penalty kick for the attackers.
Can an indirect free kick be awarded inside the 18 yard box?
Yes. An indirect free kick, for either team, may be awarded within the penalty area. Only the defense may be awarded a direct free kick in the penalty area.
When is a penalty kick awarded instead of a free kick?
When a foul, specifically a direct free kick offense, is committed by a defender, against an attacker, in the penalty area.
Direct kick how does it happen?
A direct free kick is awarded when someone commits a penal foul: handling the ball, tripping or attempting to trip, striking or attempting to strike, kicking or attempting to kick, jumping at, charging, or pushing an opponent. The ball is placed at the spot of the foul, and a player on the offended team takes the kick. The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves. If a direct free kick is awarded within the kicking team's own goal area, the ball may be placed anywhere in the goal area for the kick (similar to positioning for a goal kick). If a direct free kick is awarded within the kicking team's own penalty area (including the goal area), the ball is not in play until it is kicked directly out of the area. If the direct free kick is awarded in the offending team's penalty area, a penalty kick is awarded instead.

Can a player be fouled inside the penalty box and not be awarded a penalty?
"Foul" is a term used to describe an offence punishable by a direct free kick. If a defender fouls an attacker in the defender's penalty area then a penalty kick is the prescribed restart.
