penalty area

Penalty area

The penalty area, is an area of an association football pitch. It is rectangular and extends 16.5 metres to each side of the goal and 16.5 metres in front of it.

A penalty arc adjoins the penalty area, and encloses the area within 9.15 metres from the penalty spot; it does not form part of the penalty area and is only of relevance during the taking of a penalty kick. Previously, penalty areas extended the width of the field, but were reduced to their current dimensions in 1901.
