Question Number: 13513Law 1- The Field 8/18/2006RE: Other ziad of beirut, beirut lebanon asks...Hi, Ihave 2 questions:
1- The goal area is for what? i mean what is the purpose of the goal area in front of the goal line? i think it's called the 6 meters area.
2- can the players of a team wear a shirt and a "short" of the same color? Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer Question 1, the goal area used to be a safe area for the keeper, he could not be charged inside his goal area, outside he was fair game. It is also used to denote the area a free kick is taken if an infraction happens within it or a goal kick is awarded.
Question 2, Law 4 does not mention color, save the keeper's kit and it must be different than the players and referees.
Regards,
