Football Soccer Laws - Law 17 – The Corner Kick

A corner kick is a method of restarting play.

A goal may be scored directly from a corner kick, but only against the opposing team.

A corner kick is awarded when:

• the whole of the ball, having last touched a player of the defending team, passes over the goal line, either on the ground or in the air, and a goal is not scored in accordance with Law 10 .

• The ball is placed inside the corner arc at the nearest corner flagpost.
• The corner flagpost is not moved.
• Opponents remain at least 9.15 m (10 yds) from the corner arc until the ball is in play.
• The ball is kicked by a player of the attacking team.
• The ball is in play when it is kicked and moves.
• The kicker does not play the ball a second time until it has touched another player.
