The 2014 CAF Champions League Final was the final of the 2014 CAF Champions League, the 50th edition of Africa's premier club football tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), and the 18th edition under the current CAF Champions League format.
The final was contested in two-legged home-and-away format between AS Vita Club of Democratic Republic of the Congo and ES Sétif of Algeria. The first leg was hosted by AS Vita Club at the Stade Tata Raphaël in Kinshasa on 26 October 2014, while the second leg was hosted by ES Sétif at the Stade Mustapha Tchaker in Blida on 1 November 2014. The winner earned the right to represent the CAF at the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup, entering at the quarterfinal stage, as well as play in the 2015 CAF Super Cup against the winner of the 2014 CAF Confederation Cup.
Both matches ended in draws, 2–2 in the first leg, and 1–1 in the second leg, giving ES Sétif the title on the away goals rule (3–3 on aggregate).
AS Vita Club had reached the final of the African Cup of Champions Clubs (predecessor of the CAF Champions League) twice, winning in 1973 and losing in 1981.
ES Sétif had reached the final of the African Cup of Champions Clubs once, winning in 1988. They were the first Algerian side to reach the final of Africa's premier club championship since 1990.
