 Football Lawmakers Rule for Penalty Retakes After Madrid Controversy


The International Football Association Board (IFAB), football’s rule-making body, has clarified the double-touch rule for penalty kicks, ensuring players like Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez get a second chance if they unintentionally touch the ball twice during a spot kick. The ruling, announced Tuesday, follows a controversial incident in a Champions League Madrid derby in March.


During the match, Alvarez slipped while taking a penalty in a shootout, inadvertently touching the ball twice as he scored. Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review led to the goal being disallowed under Law 14, which governs penalty kicks, and Real Madrid won 4-2. UEFA later acknowledged the need for discussions with FIFA and IFAB to address the rule’s application.


IFAB’s new ruling, effective July 1 but immediately adopted for the FIFA Club World Cup starting June 15 in the United States, allows a retake if a player accidentally touches the ball twice and scores. FIFA confirmed the change will apply to the 32-team tournament, which includes both Atletico and Real Madrid.


IFAB Secretary Lukas Brud explained in a circular that the rule change addresses rare situations where a player, often due to slipping, unintentionally contacts the ball with both feet or their non-kicking foot immediately after the kick. “Law 14 is primarily intended for deliberate second touches,” Brud noted, adding that accidental touches can alter the ball’s trajectory, potentially disadvantaging goalkeepers.


Under the new clarification, if a penalty kick is successful despite an accidental double touch, it will be retaken. If unsuccessful during open play, it results in an indirect free kick, unless the referee opts for an advantage for the defending team. In a shootout, an unsuccessful kick remains a miss.


The decision aims to ensure fairer outcomes in high-stakes moments, addressing controversies like the one that sparked debate in Madrid earlier this year.
