Football quiz #19: the answers
30 October 2026. Five questions, easy to hard.
Question 1
How must a throw-in be taken?
- ▫️ With one hand, underarm
- ▫️ With both hands, from the waist
- ▫️ Any way, as long as it's thrown
- ✅ With both hands, from behind and over the head
The thrower must also face the pitch and have part of each foot on or behind the touchline.
Question 2
How long is each half of a senior futsal match?
- ▫️ 15 minutes
- ▫️ 25 minutes
- ✅ 20 minutes
- ▫️ 30 minutes
The clock stops whenever the ball is out of play, so a match lasts much longer in real time.
Question 3
A penalty taker hits the post and scores the rebound before anyone else touches it. What's given?
- ▫️ A goal
- ✅ An indirect free kick to the defenders
- ▫️ A retaken penalty
- ▫️ A goal kick
The kicker may not touch the ball twice in a row; the defending team gets an indirect free kick.
Question 4
In beach soccer, who normally takes a free kick awarded for a foul?
- ✅ The player who was fouled
- ▫️ The goalkeeper
- ▫️ The captain
- ▫️ Any teammate
Unless they're too injured to carry on, the fouled player takes the kick themselves.
Question 5
For handball, where is the upper limit of the arm defined?
- ✅ The bottom of the armpit
- ▫️ The collarbone
- ▫️ The middle of the bicep
- ▫️ The top of the shoulder
The Laws draw the line level with the bottom of the armpit, so the shoulder itself isn't part of the arm.
