Solution
Goalkeeper
Explanation:
Hockey allows only the goalkeeper to touch the ball with their feet, and only within the specified shooting circle. To prevent a goal, the keeper might block or stop the ball with his or her feet, hands, or body. Other players are not allowed to use their feet to control or play the ball, as doing so results in a foul.
