The 1914 Copa de Competencia La Nación Final should have been the final that decided the winner of the 2nd. (and last) edition of Copa de Competencia La Nación, an Argentine domestic cup organised by dissident body Federación Argentina de Football (FAF). The match had to be contested by Independiente and Argentino de Quilmes, but was suspended because Argentino decided to disjoin the FAF on 26 September and join the official body, Argentine Football Association.
As a result, the FAF awarded Independiente the trophy, proclaiming them as Copa de Competencia champions.Argentina – Concurso por Eliminación 1914 by Osvaldo Gorgazzi on the RSSSF"Argentina: 1ra.
