The **2014 AFC Cup final** was the final of the [2014 AFC Cup](/source/2014_AFC_Cup), the 11th edition of the [AFC Cup](/source/AFC_Cup), a [football](/source/Association_football) competition organized by the [Asian Football Confederation](/source/Asian_Football_Confederation) (AFC) for clubs from "developing countries" in [Asia](/source/Asia).[1]

The final was contested as a single match between Iraqi team [Erbil](/source/Erbil_SC) and Kuwaiti team [Al-Qadsia](/source/Qadsia_SC). The match was hosted by Erbil at the [Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Stadium](/source/Maktoum_Bin_Rashid_Al_Maktoum_Stadium) in [Dubai](/source/Dubai) on 18 October 2014, as teams from Iraq were not allowed to host their home matches in their country due to security concerns.

Al-Qadsia defeated Erbil 4–2 on penalties after a 0–0 draw, to win their first AFC Cup title after losing in the previous year's final.[2]

## Venue

The [Maktoum Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Stadium](/source/Maktoum_Bin_Rashid_Al_Maktoum_Stadium) is a multi-use stadium in [Dubai](/source/Dubai), [United Arab Emirates](/source/United_Arab_Emirates). It is the home stadium of [Al-Shabab](/source/Al_Shabab_(Dubai)) and holds 18,000 spectators.

## Background

Erbil qualified for the 2014 AFC Cup group stage as the [2012–13 Iraqi Elite League](/source/2012%E2%80%9313_Iraqi_Elite_League) runners-up. This was their fifth appearance in the AFC Cup.

Al-Qadsia qualified for the [2014 AFC Champions League qualifying play-off](/source/2014_AFC_Champions_League_qualifying_play-off) as the [2012–13 Kuwaiti Premier League](/source/2012%E2%80%9313_Kuwaiti_Premier_League) runners-up and the [2013 AFC Cup](/source/2013_AFC_Cup) runners-up, but failed to advance to the AFC Champions League group stage, and entered the AFC Cup group stage. This was their fifth appearance in the AFC Cup.

Both teams had reached the AFC Cup final before but neither has won the title. Erbil lost to [Al-Kuwait](/source/Kuwait_SC) in [2012](/source/2012_AFC_Cup_Final), while Al-Qadsia lost to [Al-Ittihad](/source/Al-Ittihad_SC_Aleppo) in [2010](/source/2010_AFC_Cup_Final) and to Al-Kuwait in [2013](/source/2013_AFC_Cup_Final).

Since 2009 when Kuwaiti clubs first entered the AFC Cup, this was the sixth straight single-match final that feature a team from Kuwait.
