Solution
- In football, a “dropped ball” occurs when the referee stops play for a non-foul reason, such as a player’s injury or the ball being defective.
- The referee places the ball where it was when play was halted and signals for one player from each team to contest control. This restarts the game and is supposed to be a fair way to resume play.
- Before attempting to play the ball, the players must wait until it touches the ground.
- Dropped balls have been less common in recent years, with referees often choosing to restart play with a contested drop ball only in cases where the break in play was particularly unusual or unforeseen.
