What occurs when all free kicks must be taken from a stopped ball in soccer?

Advantage rule

Dead ball
Fifty-fifty ball

The correct answer is: Dead ball

When all free kicks must be taken from a stopped ball in soccer, this situation is referred to as a dead ball. A dead ball occurs when the ball is not in play, meaning it has stopped moving and is no longer part of active gameplay. Free kicks are awarded for various fouls or infractions, and the dead ball situation indicates that the game is paused to allow the kick to be executed. In this context, the ball must be stationary before the kick is taken, ensuring fairness and clarity for both teams. Once the ball is kicked, it becomes live again and play resumes.
