What's the Official FIFA Definition of Offside?being offside as being"nearer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second to last opponent."To explain what this actually looks like during a game, let's consider how it might play out between two teams we'll call Team Pop and Team Sugar. The first thing to know is that offside is a penalty that can only be called on the team in possession of the ball, meaning it's an offensive penalty.
To determine when a player is offside, locate that last defender between the team who is trying to score and the goal and draw an imaginary line across the field. Any Team Pop player who is past that line, between the defender and the goal, is offside. Another way to put it is, no one on the team that is trying to score at the moment can be closer to the goal than the player on their team who has possession of the ball.
If there is no one on the defending team, in this case Team Sugar, between the person on the team who has possession of the ball and the goalie, the position of the ball becomes the offside line and everyone on Team Pop has to stay behind the ball.When Does Being Offside Matter? Here's where it gets a little bit tricky. Just being offside isn't necessarily a problem. It's only a violation if the person with the ball involves the player who is offside in the play. This can happen, for example, by passing the ball to that offside player.
