Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is NOT a reason for a throw-in to occur?

The ball goes out of play over the sideline

The ball is kicked out by the defending team

A player deliberately handles the ball

The ball goes out of play over the goal line

A throw-in is a method of restarting play when the ball has gone out of play over the sideline. This action occurs under specific circumstances outlined in the Laws of the Game. When the ball goes out over the goal line, the game is restarted with either a goal kick or a corner kick, depending on which team last touched the ball.

The rationale for this is based on the rules governing the different scenarios when the ball exits the field of play. For a ball that is kicked out over the sideline, a throw-in is awarded to the opposing team. Similarly, if a player deliberately handles the ball and it goes out of play, the game resumes with a throw-in. However, a ball that crosses the goal line, regardless of which team last touched it, will not result in a throw-in; hence this option correctly identifies a scenario that does not involve a throw-in.
