Preparation
Before the first penalty is kicked, there will be an interval that must not exceed 2 minutes. This
time is suggested to be used by the teams in dialogue with the referee and his assistants to check
whether the goalie’s position is correct (on the line) and all other rules for penalty can be fullfilled
as stated in Law 14. The referee determines (e.g., by flipping a coin) which team defends which
goal as well as which team has to take the first penalty kick.
