Free Kick
When fouls occur in the game of soccer, certain awards are given to the team who was fouled. For
minor fouls, an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team; whereas for major fouls, a direct
free kick is given. So what are the differences between the two? Aside from the severity of the fouls,
here are the definitions of what a direct and indirect free kick is:
Direct Free Kicks
Direct Free Kicks are given to a team when they are fouled by the other team. Major fouls like
intentional kicking, charging, holding, spitting, and tripping a player will merit the other team a
direct free kick. The ball is placed on the spot where the offense happened and anyone in the team
can kick the ball. Read More About Soccer Free Kick
