The referee signals for the kick to be taken after:
- The ball is placed on the penalty mark,
- The defending goalkeeper is facing the field on the line between the goal posts,
- The kicker is identified,
and
- Everyone else is outside the penalty area and outside the penalty arc and behind the ball
The ball must be kicked forward to be in play.
Until the ball is kicked:
- The goalkeeper cannot move forward (but can move sideways) and
- None of the other players can go into the penalty area or the penalty arc or move past the ball
The referee will order the penalty kick retaken if:
- A defender does something wrong and a goal was not scored
- An attacker does something wrong and a goal was scored
The player taking the penalty kick cannot touch the ball a second time until another player has touched the ball (if this happens, an indirect free kick is given to the other team)
