'''The''' '''Federation Cup''', also known as '''Hero Federation Cup''' for sponsorship reasons, was an annual single round robin and knockout style club football tournament in [[India]] that started in 1977. From its inception, until [[I-League]] was started in 1997 (then called [[National Football League (India)|NFL]]), it was the most prestigious national level club football tournament in India. Until 2017, it was the most important club tournament after the [[I-League]], to which it became a ''de facto'' League Cup. The winners of the Federation Cup was given direct entry in the continental level at [[AFC Cup]].

The holders of the 2017 Federation Cup were [[Bengaluru FC]] who beat [[Mohun Bagan A.C.]] 2–0 in the [[2017 Indian Federation Cup Final|2017 final]] held in [[Cuttack]], [[Odisha]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en-in/match/bengaluru-v-mohun-bagan/dkjd06vxajz9e2l15t3preep5|title=Bengaluru v Mohun Bagan Match Report, 21/05/17, Federation Cup | Goal.com|website=www.goal.com}}</ref>

In April 2015, [[All India Football Federation]] announced that Federation Cup will be put "on hold" for "2–3 years" to avoid scheduling conflict with [[Indian Super League]] and [[I-League]].,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.firstpost.com/sports/why-aiffs-decision-to-scrap-the-fed-cup-makes-sense-for-indian-football-2210806.html|title=Why AIFF's decision to scrap the Fed Cup makes sense for Indian football|work=[[Firstpost]]|date=24 April 2015}}</ref> but after [[Asian Football Confederation]] mandated that a club must play 18 matches in the season, AIFF decided to revive the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/top-stories/AIFF-decides-to-bring-back-Federation-Cup/articleshow/49946258.cms|title=AIFF decides to bring back Federation Cup|date=27 November 2015}}</ref>
