2014 FIFA World Cup disciplinary record
 | The 2014 FIFA World Cup disciplinary record article documents a current sports event (12 June – 13 July 2014). Content in the article may change rapidly as the tournament progresses. |
The following article outlines the disciplinary record for the 2014 FIFA World Cup taking place in Brazil from 12 June to 13 July 2014. The main disciplinary action taken against players comes in the form of red and yellow cards.
Any player sanctioned with a red card is sent off from the pitch and may not be replaced, forcing his team to play a man less. Furthermore the player is automatically banned from his country's next match, whether via a straight red or second yellow. After a straight red card, FIFA will conduct a hearing and may extend this ban beyond one match. If the ban extends beyond the end of the World Cup finals (i.e. if a player is sent off in the match in which his team was eliminated), it must be served in the team's next competitive international match(es).
Players also receive a one match ban if they pick up a single yellow card in two different games from the beginning of the group stage until the end of the quarterfinal matches, at which point single yellow cards will be deleted. However, such a ban does not carry over beyond the World Cup finals if the second yellow card is collected in his team's last match of the tournament.[citation needed] Previously, players received a one match ban if they picked up two yellow cards within the group stage or within the knockout stage. The carried yellow card rule was changed to give players a better chance to compete in the final should their team advance that far.
All statistics listed are correct as of 21:00 UTC-3 on 17 June 2014.
