Rule changes
The Vietnam Football Federation passed a resolution on December 5 that allows the champion and runners-up of the 2014 campaign to gain promotion to the 2015 V.League 1. The resolution also called for only one club to face relegation to the 2015 Vietnamese Second Division.[3]
Due to the match fixing scandal and withdrawal of Vissai Ninh Bình from the 2014 V.League 1, it was decided that the third-place club in the V.League 2 would face the twelfth-place of the V.League 1 in a play-off match for the right to play in the V.League 1 next season.[4]
Of the 8 participating teams, three remain following the 2013 V.League 2. They are joined by five teams promoted from the 2013 Vietnamese Second Division. No clubs from the 2013 V.League 1 were relegated.[5] Bình Định failed to apply for the 2013 season by the application deadline.
