As such, for the purpose of this table, the first result chronologically has been deemed that team's "home" game and the second the "away" game. National League This season, the federation increased the prize money from Nu 400,000 to 700,000 for the winners. First runners up would be given Nu 400,000, up by 200,000 from last year and the second runners up would be awarded Nu 200,000, double from last year's prize.http://www.kuenselonline.com/drukpol-4-druk-star-fc-2/ Drukpol FC-4, Druk Star FC-2 Phuntsho Tashi 8 July 2014 kuenselonline.com Kuensel Online 8 July 2014 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20140714202549/http://www.kuenselonline.com/drukpol-4-druk-star-fc-2/ 14 July 2014 No place is awarded to the team finishing in first place this season for the AFC President's Cup. This is because 2014 is the final edition of the cup to be held. Instead, the six teams which qualify for the 2014 AFC President's Cup final stage will enter the 2015 AFC Cup play-offs, and from 2015 onwards, centralized qualifiers will determine six teams which enter the AFC Cup play-offs.http://www.the-afc.com/en/about-afc/afc-committees/1128-standing-committee/27271-east-west-final-251113.html ACL: East vs West final proposed the-afc.com Asian Football Confederation 25 November 2013 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20131203143849/http://www.the-afc.com/en/about-afc/afc-committees/1128-standing-committee/27271-east-west-final-251113.html 3 December 2013 Since Ugyen Academy lost all three of their games in the 2014 competition, there will be no Bhutanese representative in the AFC Cup until at least 2016. The national league has struggled to attract spectators though, with only around fifty people attending matches, even when top teams are involved.http://www.kuenselonline.com/where-are-the-spectators/#.VA1x8fn1AQY Where are the spectators? Phuntsho Tashi 26 August 2014 kuenselonline.com Kuensel Online 8 September 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140828102441/http://www.kuenselonline.com/where-are-the-spectators/#.VA1x8fn1AQY 28 August 2014 dead This is in contrast to prior years when large crowds would come to Changlimithang even for inter-school tournaments and this downturn in spectator numbers has been attributed to the widespread availability of foreign leagues on television providing a much greater level of entertainment. Additionally, difficulties in obtaining visa's for foreign players to play in the National League inhibit its attraction to local spectators. Thimphu City attempted to bring a player in from the English Premier League, but were unable to do so because of visa issues.

Druk United v Thimphu City was also reported as a 5–0 win for Druk United, not 4–0. Druk Pol were reported to have beaten Bhutan Clearing 6–1, not 6–0. The match between Druk United and Bhutan Clearing may have finished 4–0 to Druk United, not 4–1. Some reports indicate that Thimphu City in fact scored two goals in their away match against Ugyen Academy and lost 4–2 not 4–0 and Bhutan Clearing have been reported as losing 5–1 not 5–0 in their home fixture against Druk United.https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/bhutan2014.html Bhutan 2014 – National League 2014 Stokkermans Karel 18 September 2014 RSSSF Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation 25 September 2014 References Category:Bhutan National League seasons Bhutan Bhutan 1
