Question: 1 / 400

What is a corner kick awarded for in soccer?

When the ball goes out of play

When an injured player needs assistance

When the defending team kicks the ball over the end line

A corner kick is awarded when the defending team kicks the ball over their own goal line (end line), but does not score a goal. This situation allows the attacking team an opportunity to take a set kick from the corner arc nearest to where the ball crossed the line. It’s a strategic moment in the game, often leading to scoring opportunities due to the organized play that can emerge from a corner kick.

The other options relate to different situations in soccer. A corner kick is not awarded simply when the ball goes out of play for various reasons. An injured player needing assistance does not directly relate to the award of a corner kick—it addresses player safety and game stoppage instead. The end of each half does not trigger a corner kick but rather signifies a break in gameplay, and any goal-related events prior to that would be ruled differently.
