The attacking team takes the following positions for a throw-in from the right side: The right midfielder H is positioned at the sideline for the throw-in. The balls are with him. The two forwards are positioned in the penalty area between the goal area and the penalty spot at the same height. The right centre back C stands centrally and slightly offset behind the two forwards. The left centre back B and the right-centre midfielder G are placed at the edge of the penalty area, slightly to the left of the penalty arc. The left wide midfielder is positioned in the central back area, and player F is placed between the two fullbacks A and D who are standing 16 metres from the defending goal. The defending team takes the following positions for a throw-in from the right side: The four players of the back four (A-D) stand in a line at the edge of the goal area. In front of them, centrally positioned, are the left wide midfielder E and the two central midfielders F and G. The right wide midfielder H stands centrally at the edge of the penalty area. Together with the four defenders and the three midfielders positioned in front of them, the arrangement resembles a pyramid shape.
