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]
