Is a Handball a 'Direct' or 'Indirect' Kick?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
As a rule, a direct kick occurs following a contact foul or hand ball. Most other football infringements are indirect.

If a defending team commits a contact foul or hand ball within their own penalty area (a marked out box at each end of the field) - the result is a penalty kick.<|im_end|>
