Winning the 2013 Federation Cup also entitled Tuggeranong United to become the ACT's sole qualifier for the 2014 FFA Cup, entering at the Round of 32. The original intention from Capital Football was that the Federation Cup would be the qualifying tournament to determine the ACT qualifier, but match scheduling issues meant the 2014 winner would not be decided until after the qualifier needed to be named. To overcome this Capital Football announced that the 2014 winner of the ACT's pre-season competition was to be the ACT's qualifier in 2014 , but Tuggeranong United successfully appealed to qualify them as the ACT's FFA Cup entrant for 2014.[2]
