of a match or home-and-away (mandatory)
The referee must be positioned on the goal line approximately 2 m from the

make eye contact with the second referee to check that no infringement
has been committed
The second referee must be situated in line with the penalty mark at an
approximate distance of 3 m to check that the ball and the goalkeeper of the
team of the kicker are correctly positioned.
The third referee must be situated in the centre circle to control the remaining
players of both teams.
The timekeeper must be positioned at the timekeeper’s table and checks
that the players excluded from taking the penalty kicks and the team offi cials
behave correctly.

players who took them.
