What exactly are the rules for offside in football?

When our team A passes the ball (that moment), if there are less than two players (that is, only one) on your side behind our team receiving player B, then our team is offside.

There are three conditions that must be met for offside:

1. The attacking players must pass the half, that is, enter their own front court, the opponent's backcourt.

2. There is no more than one defender between the attacker's players and the baseline line, that is, there is only one or even no defender.

3. The offside player must be in front of the passer, and the ball is forward.

As long as the above three conditions are met at the moment of passing, it is an offside condition. (Note: Corners and boundary kicks are not offside.) ）

In the 1994 Football Refereeing Law, there is a new interpretation, that is, in order to encourage attack, as long as the offside player does not participate in the attack and does not interfere with the game, the referee can not blow offside.

Now, the latest interpretation is that as long as the offside condition is met, and one of the following three conditions is met, the offside must be awarded.

1. The offside player was involved in the attack.

2. An offside player interferes with the opponent's defense.

3. An offside player interferes with the game.

Offside is when an attacking player is in a position without the ball and is closer to the goal than the opposing defender (except the goalkeeper). What happens is that the moment the attacker's opponent passes the ball, the player's position is as described above, that is, offside. Specifically, there are the following situations:

1.An attacking player is in an offside position if the ball is closer to the opponent's goal line. Excepts are the following:

a.The player is in his own half.

b.At least two opposing players are closer to the opponent's goal line than that player.

2.When a player kicks or touches the ball and a player of the same team is in an offside position, the referee deems that the player has committed any of the following acts, and the player shall be judged offside:

is interfering with a match or interfering with an opponent;

b.Attempt to gain advantage from an offside position.

3.A player shall not be judged offside if:

a.The player was only in an offside position;

b.A player receives a goal kick, corner kick or throw-in directly.

4.If a player is awarded offside, the referee shall award an indirect free kick to the opposing player in the offside position. If the player is offside in the opponent's goal area, the free kick may be taken anywhere in the goal area at the time of offside.

The offside rule in football is that at the moment when the attacking player makes the ball, in the opponent's half, the receiver is closer to the goal than the second-to-last defender, including the goalkeeper, and at the same time closer to the goal than the ball, and tries to use this position to interfere with the opposing player's scramble for the ball, interfere with the game, and the goal post crossbar and the opponent's ** ball will be ruled offside. It is also important to note that corners and throw-ins, goal kicks are not offside.

Offside is a football game rule that was created in 1874. It imposes strict restrictions on where the receiver is allowed to stand when the ball is passed forward in the offensive direction.
