The referee who is on the touchline on the side of the quadrant where the ball is to be placed and a corner kick is to be taken, positions himself on the touchline approximately 5 m from the ball before allowing the kick to be taken. In this position, the referee should check that the ball is correctly placed inside the corner quadrant and that the players of the defending team have retreated at least 5 meters. The other referee takes up a position on the other side, at the intersection of the touchline and the goal line. In this position, this referee observes the ball and the players’ behavior. If a counter-attack occurs, the referee who is further forward follows the play.
