What defines a loose ball near players from both teams, giving each an equal chance to control it?

Fifty-fifty ball
Offside
Hand ball
Header

The correct answer is: Fifty-fifty ball

The correct answer is the term "fifty-fifty ball." This phrase is commonly used in soccer to describe a situation where the ball is in a position that offers players from both teams an equal opportunity to gain possession. In this scenario, no player has a clear advantage, and both teams must compete for control of the ball. The other terms do not relate to this concept. "Offside" refers to a rule violation concerning player positioning that affects whether a goal can be scored, while "hand ball" involves a player deliberately handling the ball with their hand or arm, which results in a free kick for the opposing team. "Header" refers to a technique of striking the ball with one’s head, not a situation about possession.
