The 2014 AFF Championship, sponsored by Suzuki and officially known as the 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup,^[1] was the 10th edition of the AFF Championship, an international association football competition consisting of national teams of member nations of the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF).

Co-hosting rights to the group stages were awarded to Singapore and Vietnam with matches held from 22 November to 20 December 2014. Meanwhile, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand also hosted knockout stage matches, as their teams advanced to the semi-finals with Vietnam.^[2]

Singapore were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the group stage.^[3] Thailand won the tournament 4–3 in a two-legged final against Malaysia,^[4] with manager Kiatisuk Senamuang being the first coach to win the competition also as a player.^[5]

Singapore and Vietnam were announced as co-hosts of the group stage by the AFF Council on 3 April 2013.^[6] Initially the Philippines and Indonesia were also considered as possible co-hosts.^[7][8]

Qualification

Qualification was to have been scrapped for this edition of the tournament,^[12] but at the AFF Council Meeting in Naypyidaw, Myanmar in December 2013, it was decided that the qualifying round would be retained, and Laos were awarded the hosting rights.^[13] It was to involve the five lower ranked teams in the region, with games taking place between 12 and 20 October 2014.^[2]

In August 2013, Football Federation Australia became a full member of the AFF,^[14] thus making them eligible to compete in the ASEAN Football Championship starting with this edition of the tournament. However, Australia had no plans to compete against lower-ranked teams in AFF Championship and that they would continue to play in future editions of the EAFF East Asian Cup.^[15]
