Can you score an own goal from a free kick?

The answer is no

According to Law 13 in the Laws of the Game, an own goal cannot be scored directly from a free kick. If the ball goes directly into the defending team's goal from a free kick, it is awarded as a corner kick to the attacking team.

This is because a free kick is considered an indirect free kick

This means that the ball must touch another player before it can go into the goal. If the ball goes directly into the goal without touching another player, it is considered a violation of the Laws of the Game and the goal is not awarded.

There are some exceptions to this rule

For example, if the defending team deliberately plays the ball into their own goal, it will be awarded as an own goal. Additionally, if the ball is deflected into the goal by a defending player, it will also be awarded as an own goal.

However, in the vast majority of cases, it is not possible to score an own goal from a free kick

This is because the ball must touch another player before it can go into the goal, and the defending team is unlikely to deliberately play the ball into their own goal.
