"It states that the goalkeeper facing a penalty must "remain on the goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts, until the ball is kicked". The goalkeeper must have at least one part of one foot touching, in line with, or behind, the goalline. Ifab also states the goalkeeper must not 'unfairly distract the kicker'. This includes delaying the taking of the kick, touching the goalposts, crossbar or goal net."
"Other players, excluding the penalty taker and the goalkeeper, must also remain outside of the penalty area, inside the field of play and 10 yards away from the penalty spot until the kick has been taken. If a goalkeeper or a team-mate is deemed to have encroached and the shot has not entered the goal, the kick is retaken. But if the goalkeeper or their team-mates have encroached and the shot is scored, a goal is awarded."
Law 14 of the International Football Association Board governs encroachment on penalty kicks. The goalkeeper must remain on the goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts, until the ball is kicked, with at least part of one foot touching the goal line or behind it. The goalkeeper must not unfairly distract the kicker, including delaying the kick or touching the posts, crossbar, or net. All other players, except the taker and goalkeeper, must stay outside the penalty area on the field and 10 yards from the spot until the kick is taken. Different encroachment combinations determine retakes, goals awarded, indirect free-kicks, or continuation of play.
