Is it permissible to make a mark outside the boundary of the field of play?

The practice of making a mark outside the boundary of the field of play is permissible in specific situations. Marking 10 yards from the corner arc is relevant because it indicates the proper distance for players during a corner kick. This distance ensures that defenders respect the required space, allowing for a fair and controlled restart of play.

When a referee allows such markings, it is to manage the game effectively and ensure players adhere to the laws regarding the distance players must maintain from the point of an impending kick. This marking does not violate any rules or boundaries; instead, it helps create an organized environment on the field.

Other options may suggest that marking outside the boundary is completely prohibited or allowed only in certain limited circumstances, but these do not recognize the practicality and necessity of ensuring the game is played fairly and within the established laws.
