Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about Football.

What is the offside rule in football?
A player is offside if they are nearer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent at the moment the ball is played to them, unless they are in their own half or level with the second-last opponent.
What is the difference between a direct and indirect free kick?
A direct free kick can result in a goal without another player touching the ball. An indirect free kick requires another player to touch the ball before a goal can be scored.
What is VAR (Video Assistant Referee)?
VAR is a technology system used to review decisions by the on-field referee. It can be used for goals, penalties, red cards, and cases of mistaken identity.
How does the yellow and red card system work?
A yellow card is a caution for unsporting behavior or repeated fouls. A red card means the player is sent off and cannot be replaced. Two yellow cards in one match equal a red card.
What is stoppage time (added time)?
Stoppage time is additional time added at the end of each half to compensate for time lost due to injuries, substitutions, time-wasting, and other interruptions during the 45 minutes.
What happens if a football match ends in a draw in a knockout tournament?
In knockout stages, if the match is drawn after 90 minutes, two 15-minute periods of extra time are played. If still level, a penalty shootout determines the winner.
What is the Golden Goal rule?
The Golden Goal rule states that if a goal is scored during extra time, the match ends immediately with the scoring team declared the winner. This rule is no longer used in most competitions.
How many substitutions are allowed in a football match?
Standard matches allow up to 5 substitutions per team in 3 stoppages. In extra time, an additional substitution is permitted. Competition rules may vary.

What is the offside trap?
The offside trap is a defensive strategy where the defensive line moves forward simultaneously at the moment the opponent passes the ball, intending to catch attacking players in an offside position.
