Offside Position
It is not an offence in itself to be in an
offside position.
A player is in an offside position
if:
- he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second
last opponent
A player is not in an offside position
if:
- he is in his own half of the field of play
or
- he is level with the second last opponent
or
- he is level with the last two opponents
Offence
A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the
moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion
of the referee, involved in active play by:
- interfering with play
or
- interfering with an opponent
or
- gaining an advantage by being in that position
No
Offence
There is no offside offence if a player
receives the ball directly from:
- a goal kick
or
- a throw-in
or
- a corner kick
Infringements/Sanctions
For
any offside offence, the referee awards an indirect free kick to the opposing
team to be taken from the place where the infringement occurred.*
Decisions of the International F.A. Board
Decision
1
In the definition of offside position, "nearer to his
opponents' goal line" means that any part of his head, body or feet is nearer to
his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent. The
arms are not included in this definition.
Decision 2
The definitions of elements of involvement in active play
are as follows:
- Interfering with play means playing or touching the ball passed or
touched by a team-mate.
- Interfering with an opponent means preventing an opponent from playing
or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent's line of
vision or movement which, in the opinion of the referee, deceives or distracts
an opponent.
- Gaining an advantage by being in that position means playing a ball that
rebounds to him off a goal-post or the crossbar having been in an offside
position or playing the ball that rebounds to him off an opponent having been in
an offside position.
