Fair Play Award mulai diadakan sejak Piala Dunia 1970 di Meksiko. Tim-tim yang pernah mendapatkan Fair Play Award hingga Piala Dunia 2014 adalah Argentina (1978), Belgia (2002), Brasil (1982; 1986; 1994; 2006), Inggris (1990; 1998), Jerman Barat (1974), Kolombia (2014), Prancis (1998), dan Spanyol (2006; 2010). Penghargaan ini diberikan kepada tim yang memiliki track records terbaik dalam sikap dan perilaku bermain selama berlangsungnya Piala Dunia. Sebagai contoh, Peru menjalani Piala Dunia Meksiko 1970 tanpa menerima satupun kartu kuning maupun kartu merah. Sebuah catatan yang istimewa yang sulit untuk disamai.
Keberhasilan meraih Fair Play Award tidak terlepas dari setiap pemain yang berlaga maupun menjadi bagian dari skuad tim. Maka dari itu alangkah baiknya jika kita menilik kembali siapa saja penghuni skuad tim-tim peraih Fair Play Award di dalam Piala Dunia.
