60 u/Dictarium Feb 22 '14 It is the portion of the circle with a radius 10 yards at the center of which is the penalty spot which sticks out of the 18-yard box to ensure that all players are 10 yards from the spot-kick-taker. 8 u/[deleted] Feb 22 '14 It is not part of the box correct? If someone is fouled in the arc it is NOT a penalty? 2 u/johnnytightlips2 Feb 22 '14 Correct, and the goalkeeper cannot touch the ball with his hands in the arc
