The Penalty Arc on a Soccer Field
The curved turf marking sits just outside the top edge of the penalty box. This specialized field marking connects to the main rectangular boundary on the grass. The composition concentrates exclusively on this arc shape on the playing surface.
Purpose of the Penalty Arc During Kicks
The penalty arc, often called the D-box arc, keeps all players at least ten yards away from the penalty spot during a penalty kick. Only the shooter and the goalkeeper are permitted inside the penalty box and arc area until the kick is taken. Once the kicker touches the ball, other players can run across the arc boundary onto the pitch.
Real Colors of the Penalty Arc Area
- Painted arc boundary: bright white
