In 1882, an indirect free kick was awarded to the opposing side if the player taking the free kick touched the ball twice.[103] In 1905, encroachment by the opposition at a free kick was also punished with an indirect free-kick.[104] In 1938, this punishment was eliminated; it was specified instead that, in the event of encroachment, the referee "shall delay the taking of the kick until the Law is complied with".[105] In 1937, it was specified that if a free kick taken from within the kicking side's penalty area did not leave the penalty area, it should be retaken.[106] This requirement was removed in 2019.
