What is the indicated action when a player is in an offside position and subsequently becomes involved in active play?

When a player is in an offside position and subsequently becomes involved in active play, the key factor is how the player interacts with the game after being in that position. If the player receives the ball directly from a teammate, it is important to understand that the offside rule only applies when a player is involved in active play in a way that directly impacts the game, such as interfering with an opponent or gaining an advantage from their position.

In this case, if the player is offside but receives the ball directly from a teammate's pass without interfering with an opponent or affecting play, then there is no infraction and play should continue. The offside position only becomes relevant if the player tries to play the ball or interferes with an opponent while in that position. Therefore, the correct action is to allow play to continue if the ball is received in this way, as the offside rule does not apply in this situation.
