Notes
  1. ^
    Philippines (PHI): The PFF–Smart National Club Championship served as the qualifiers for the Philippines' club representative to the 2014 AFC President Cup, instead of the United Football League, which served this purpose for the 2013 AFC President's Cup. This means that Ceres, the 2013 PFF–Smart National Club Championship champions, instead of Stallion, the 2013 United Football League champions, were chosen to represent the Philippines in the 2014 AFC President Cup. [7]

Schedule

The schedule of the competition was as follows. [8]

Group stage

The draw for the group stage was held on 28 March 2014, 16:00 UTC+8, at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur. [9] The eleven teams were drawn into two groups of four and one group of three.

  3. Greater number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned
  4. Goal difference in all the group matches
