	Penalty area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Within the penalty area is the penalty spot (or penalty mark), which is 12 yards (11 metres) from the goal line, directly in-line with the centre of the goal.
		A penalty arc adjoins the penalty area, and encloses the area within ten yards from the penalty spot; it does not form part of the penalty area and is only of relevance during the taking of a penalty kick.
		Previously, penalty areas extended the width of the field, but were reduced to their current dimensions in 1901.
