What is a corner kick awarded for in soccer?

When the ball goes out of play
When an injured player needs assistance
When the defending team kicks the ball over the end line
At the end of each half

The correct answer is: When the defending team kicks the ball over the end line

A corner kick is awarded when the defending team kicks the ball over their own goal line (end line), but does not score a goal. This situation allows the attacking team an opportunity to take a set kick from the corner arc nearest to where the ball crossed the line. It’s a strategic moment in the game, often leading to scoring opportunities due to the organized play that can emerge from a corner kick. The other options relate to different situations in soccer. A corner kick is not awarded simply when the ball goes out of play for various reasons. An injured player needing assistance does not directly relate to the award of a corner kick—it addresses player safety and game stoppage instead. The end of each half does not trigger a corner kick but rather signifies a break in gameplay, and any goal-related events prior to that would be ruled differently.
