2011 Copa América disciplinary record
In the 2011 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).

Fair Play Award
[edit]The Fair Play Award was given to the team with the best overall discipline throughout the tournament. 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. The team that advanced past the first stage with the most points was awarded the trophy. Teams that dropped below zero points were excluded from winning the award.[1]
Infraction | Points deducted |
---|---|
Booking of a player (yellow card) | 1 point |
Expulsion of a player (red card) | 2 points |
Suspension per game | 1 point |
Delay of game at the start of restart of a match | 2 points |
Misconduct of the players and/or coaching staff | 1 point |
Recidivism of misconduct | 2 points |
Incomplete team | 1 point |
Abandonment of the game | Exclusion |
Others | Case-by-case judgement |
The four semi-finalists (Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela) were the only teams considered for the Fair Play Award. After a post-match brawl in the semi-finals, Paraguay and Venezuela were excluded from winning the award. Peru and Uruguay finished the tournament with the same number of points. Since Uruguay had fewer players handed a red card during the tournament, they won the Fair Play Award.[2]
