The following awards were given at the conclusion of the tournament. They were all sponsored by Adidas.

Golden Ball Silver Ball Bronze Ball

FIFA Fair Play Award
 Ecuador

In December 2015, Nigerian Samuel Chukwueze was retroactively awarded the Bronze boot award. Kelechi Nwakali had erroneously been awarded the award immediately following the tournament but as he had played more minutes (630) than Chukwueze (535) in the tournament the award was re-allocated.
