Under the original plan for the final round, the four teams would play matches on aknock-out basis, hosted by one of the teams at a centralized venue. The semifinal winners would play in the final while the losers would play in the third place match.[3][4] Both finalists and the winner of the third place match would qualify for the2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League.
On March 31, 2014, the CFU announced thatValencia, which were given a bye to the final round, could not participate in the competition after theHaitian Football Federation failed to confirm the club as an active member of the federation due to a fallout between the club and the federation. After consultation with CONCACAF and the three first round group winners which were to play with Valencia in the final round, the three group winners,Bayamón FC,Waterhouse, andAlpha United, were chosen to represent the CFU in the2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League, subject to the clubs meeting the minimum standards for participation. Moreover, the final round was cancelled to save expenses for the three teams.[8]
