The 2013–14 OFC Champions League was the 13th edition of the Oceanian Club Championship, Oceania's premier club football tournament organized by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), and the 8th season under the current OFC Champions League name. Auckland City became the first team to win four consecutive and six overall titles after defeating Amicale in the final. As the winner of the 2014 OFC Champions League, they earned the right to represent the OFC at the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup. Both finalists also earned invitations to participate in the 2014 OFC President's Cup.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=OFC Executive meeting outcomes announced )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=OFC Executive Committee decisions )〕 ==Format change== The OFC decided to change the format once again for the 2014 edition:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Changes afoot for OFC Champions League )〕 *The competition consisted of two stages – preliminary stage and final stage (group stage, semi-finals, and final). *For the preliminary stage, like in the previous season, four teams from the four weakest associations took part in this stage, with the tournament played in round-robin format at a single venue. From this season, the preliminary stage winner was granted direct qualification to the group stage. *For the group stage, 12 teams took part in this stage (increase from 8 teams in the past), and more importantly, it was played in a single country. Four associations were awarded two berths each, three associations were awarded one berth each, and one berth was given to the preliminary stage winner. The 12 teams were divided into three groups of four teams (teams from the same association may not be placed into the same group), where each group was played in round-robin format, with the group winners and the best runner-up progressing to the semi-finals. *For the semi-finals, like in the previous season, the two ties were played over two legs on a home-and-away format. *For the final, the OFC Executive Committee decided that it was played over two legs on a home-and-away format, instead of over one match at a pre-determined venue like in the previous season.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2013–14 OFC Champions League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
