I asked many people what is offside in football but never got the right explanation Can you tell
Offside is a rule in football that prevents a player from gaining an unfair advantage by being in an offside position. A player is in an offside position if they are in the opponent's half and nearer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent.
There are two exceptions to the offside rule:
- If a player is in their own half.
- If a player receives the ball directly from a goal kick, corner kick, or throw-in.
If a player is in an offside position, they are penalized by being awarded an indirect free kick. The free kick is taken from the spot where the offside occurred.
