When is it illegal for a goalkeeper to use their hands?
Inside penalty box
Outside penalty box
During penalties
On Tuesdays
Answer
Certainly! Goalkeepers can only handle the ball within the penalty area. Outside of it, if a goalkeeper intentionally handles the ball, they will be penalized for handling the ball. This is because handling the ball outside the penalty box is considered a handball offense, which can result in an indirect free kick for the opposing team.
