Soccer Rule Throw In
The Referees are reminded that opponents may be no closer than 2 metres
from the point at which the throw-in is taken. Where necessary, the
referee must warn any player within this distance before the throw-in
is taken and caution the player if he subsequently fails to retreat to
the correct distance. Play is restarted with a throw-in.
If a player, while correctly taking a throw-in, intentionally throws the
ball at an opponent in order to play the ball again but neither in a
careless nor a reckless manner nor using excessive force, the referee
must allow play to continue.

for more soccer skills.
If the ball enters the opponents’ goal directly from a throw-in, the
referee must award a goal kick. If the ball enters the thrower’s own
goal directly from a throw-in, the referee must award a corner kick.
If the ball touches the ground before entering the fi eld of play, the
throw-in is retaken by the same team from the same position provided
that it was taken in line with the correct procedure. If the throw-in
is not taken in line with the correct procedure, it is retaken by the
opposing team.
