What happens if the ball goes out of bounds in football

[Hasan77]

When the ball goes out of bounds in football, the specific outcome depends on the context and the rules of the particular football code being played. Here are some general scenarios based on the rules of association football (soccer) and American football:

Association Football (Soccer):

Throw-in: If the ball completely crosses the touchline (sideline), a throw-in is awarded to the opposing team from the spot where the ball went out of bounds. A player from the opposing team throws the ball back into play using both hands from behind their head, with both feet on the ground and outside the field of play.
American Football:

Incomplete Pass: If a forward pass in American football goes out of bounds without being caught by a player, it is considered an incomplete pass. The next down will take place from the original line of scrimmage.
Out-of-Bounds Run: If the ball carrier in American football runs out of bounds, the play is ruled dead, and the ball is spotted at the point where the runner went out of bounds. The next down will start from that spot.

Additionally, in both association football and American football, if the ball goes out of bounds over the goal line and was last touched by the attacking team, it results in a goal kick or a corner kick depending on which team touched it last.

In association football, if the ball crosses the goal line and was last touched by the defending team, a corner kick is awarded to the attacking team. A player from the attacking team takes the corner kick from the corner arc of the field, attempting to create a scoring opportunity.

In American football, if the ball goes out of bounds over the goal line and was last touched by the attacking team, it is considered a touchback. This results in the defending team taking possession of the ball at their own 20-yard line, or the 25-yard line in the NFL.

It's important to note that the specific rules and outcomes may vary depending on the football code being played, such as rugby football or Canadian football. It's always best to consult the specific rulebook of the code being played to fully understand the outcome when the ball goes out of bounds.

I'm learning a lot about what actually transpire when a ball goes out of bounds of football. Several actions take place as dictated by the football officials such as referee and linemen. They are in better position to decide.
