Must both goalkeepers be in their respective Penalty Areas during a kickoff?

During a kickoff, it is not required for both goalkeepers to be in their respective Penalty Areas. The Laws of the Game state that all players, except for the player taking the kick, must be in their own half of the field, but there is no specific requirement regarding the position of the goalkeepers within their Penalty Areas during this moment. This means that goalkeepers are free to position themselves anywhere in their half of the field, as long as they adhere to the general requirement for player positioning during a kickoff. This flexibility allows goalkeepers to prepare for the upcoming play, positioning themselves for a potential defensive action depending on the situation.
