2015 Copa América disciplinary record

In the 2015 Copa América, the main disciplinary action taken against players came in the form of red and yellow cards.

Any player picking up a red card was expelled from the pitch and automatically banned for his country's next match, whether via a straight red or second yellow. After a straight red card, FIFA would conduct a hearing and could extend this ban beyond one match. If the ban extended beyond the end of the finals (i.e. if a player was sent off in the match in which his team was eliminated), it had to be served in the team's next competitive international match(es). In most cases, that was the first matches of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying.

Fair Play Award
The Fair Play Award was given to the team with the best overall discipline throughout the tournament, Peru. Teams were given a certain number of points — 15 in the first stage, 5 in the quarter-finals, and 10 points for the remaining four teams — from which points were deducted depending on the infraction. As the team that advanced past the first stage with the most points, Peru were awarded the trophy. Teams that drop below 0 points were excluded from winning the award.
