Question Number: 25542Law 12 - Fouls and Misconduct 10/3/2011RE: Select Other Chase Funke of Hamilton, OH USA asks...This question is a follow up to question 24457 Quick question, if the GK feet are outside of the Penalty area but the Ball is just on the inside of the penalty area, the GK can still pick up the ball as long as the ball remains in the penalty, correct? Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi Chase
You are indeed correct. The position of the ball is all that matters. When the ball is outside the penalty area including the penalty area line the goalkeeper may not touch the ball with his hand/s. The position of the rest of his body is irrelevant.
