The 2014 Amputee Football World Cup was the 17th edition of the biennial international competition of amputee football national men's teams. It was organized by the World Amputee Football Federation (WAFF), and was held in Culiacán, Mexico between November 30–December 7, 2014.[1]
Russia won the title for the fourth time, defeating Angola in the final. Turkey became a bronze medalist before Poland.[2][3]
