Overview

[edit]

The 2014 edition of the Highest Class Football League championship was played as a single round robin; twelve teams took part, each playing eleven games. Hwaebul won the championships, having had 7 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. April 25 were the runners-up, and Amrokkang finished third.[1] The three teams that finished in the top three spots had been considered the favourites before the start of the competition; Sŏnbong, Wŏlmido, and Kwanmobong had not been expected to do well, but each scored surprising upset victories over stronger opponents.[2]
