The goal area of a football field is a rectangle that's formed by the goal line and two lines that extend from the goal line. These lines extend into the field of play for a distance of 5.5m and are joined by a line drawn parallel with the goal line

The penalty area or 18-yard box (also known less formally as the penalty box or simply box) is an area of an association football pitch. It is rectangular and extends 18 yd (16 m) to each side of the goal and 18 yd (16 m) in front of it.

The center circle in football is a circle with a radius of 9.15 meters (10 yards) that's marked at the center of the field. It has two main purposes:

1) Kick-offs: The center circle indicates the minimum distance that opposing players must keep from the ball when it's placed on the center mark for a kick-off.

2) Penalty shootouts: During a penalty shootout, all players except for the two goalkeepers and the player taking the penalty must remain inside the center circle

The shot is taken from the penalty spot, which is 11 metres (12 yards) from the goal line and centered between the touch lines.

An arc of a circle with a radius of 9.15m from the centre of each penalty mark is drawn outside the penalty area. The arc enables the referee to ensure that players keep the proper distance from the penalty taker, preventing crowding and maintaining fairness during the penalty kick
