Procedure
When taking a corner kick, the football is initially placed so that some piece of the ball touches the corner arc closest to where the ball went out of play. The corner arc is located at the intersection of the goalline and touchline and has a radius of one yard. All defending players must be at least ten yards (9.15 metres) from the ball until the corner kick is taken. A corner kick is taken as soon as it is kicked and moves.
The attacking side may score directly from a corner kick, though this is uncommon.
The first player to touch the ball directly from a corner kick delivery cannot be penalised for offside.
