AboutStuart Young Expertise I can answer questions to do with all aspects of English football, Spanish football and International football. My strongest area in football is current news. I also have a great knowledge of tactics and strategies.
Experience I have played football from a very early age. School teams, youth club level progressing to semi-professional level and playing at county level.
Question can a keeper carry the ball into his own penalty area and then handle it with his hands?
Answer The goalkeeper can only handle the ball inside his own penalty area.
A goalkeeper can only handle the ball for a duration no longer than six seconds.
If a goalkeeper carries the ball fro outside the penalty area to inside the area he/she will be penalised and a direct free-kick will be given from where the goalkeeper first touched the ball.
I hope this has answered your question sufficiently!
