RE: pro Adult

Opusoni Thanda of Harare, Zimbabwe Zimbabwe asks...

is it proper for a penalty retake to be taken by a different player?

Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh

Hi Opusoni
Yes any player on the team can take a penalty retake. It is a new penalty and it is the same as any other retake such as a throw in, free kick, goal kick etc.
All that is required is that the new penalty taker be properly identified to the referee.
