Laws of the Game 2006
Procedure
 
  • If, before both teams have taken five kicks, one has scored more goals than the other could score, even if it were to complete its five kicks, no more kicks are taken.

  • If, after both teams have taken five kicks, both have scored the same number of goals, or have not scored any goals, kicks continue to be taken in the same order until one team has scored a goal more than the other from the same number of kicks.

  • A goalkeeper who is injured while kicks are being taken from the penalty mark and is unable to continue as goalkeeper may be replaced by a named substitute provided his team has not used the maximum number of substitutes permitted under the competition rules.

  • With the exception of the foregoing case, only players who are on the field of play at the end of the match, which includes extra time where appropriate, are allowed to take kicks from the penalty mark.

  • Each kick is taken by a different player and all eligible players must take a kick before any player can take a second kick.

  • An eligible player may change places with the goalkeeper at any time when kicks from the penalty mark are being taken.
  • Only the eligible players and match officials are permitted to remain on the field of play when kicks from the penalty mark are being taken.

  • All players, except the player taking the kick and the two goalkeepers, must remain within the centre circle.
