How is a penalty kick awarded in football?

[Hasan77]

In football (soccer), a penalty kick is awarded to the opposing team if a defending player commits a major foul inside their own penalty area. The following conditions must be met for a penalty kick to be awarded:

Foul: A foul must be committed by a defending player within their team's penalty area. Common fouls that can lead to a penalty kick include tripping, pushing, holding, or handball (deliberately touching the ball with the hand or arm).

Penalty Area: The foul must occur within the designated penalty area, also known as the 18-yard box. The boundaries of the penalty area are marked by two lines that extend horizontally from the goalposts and a line that connects them.

I think a penalty kick is awarded to the attacking team when a defending player commits a foul within their own penalty area. The penalty area is a rectangular area located directly in front of the goal, measuring 44 yards wide and 18 yards deep.

A penalty kick is awarded in football when a player commits a foul inside their own penalty area, which is the 18-yard (16.5 meters) area in front of the goal. The penalty kick is taken from the penalty spot, which is 12 yards (11 meters) from the goal line.

The following types of fouls can result in a penalty kick:

1. Handball: When a player deliberately handles the ball with their hand or arm, and it was not accidental.
2. Tripping: When a player trips an opponent or obstructs their movement.
3. Holding: When a player grabs or holds onto an opponent's jersey or equipment.
4. Pushing: When a player pushes an opponent or obstructs their movement.
5. Kicking: When a player kicks an opponent or obstructs their movement.
6. Foul and abusive language: When a player uses abusive language towards an opponent or match official.

To award a penalty kick, the referee must stop play and indicate that a penalty kick is being awarded. The referee will then consult with the assistant referee to determine if the foul was committed inside the penalty area.

Once the penalty kick is awarded, the attacking team will have the opportunity to take the kick from the penalty spot. The goalkeeper must remain on the goal line, facing the kicker, until the ball is kicked. The kicker must kick the ball forward and not touch it twice or touch another player before it goes out of bounds or is scored.

The referee will then restart play by throwing the ball back into play after the penalty kick has been taken.
