From its inception, until I - League was started in 1997 ( then called 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 winning club of the Federation Cup gained a chance to compete in the continental level in AFC Cup. The holders of the 2017 Federation Cup were Bengaluru FC who beat Mohun Bagan A.C. 2 -- 0 in the 2017 final held in Cuttack, Odisha. 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., but after Asian Football Confederation mandated that a club must play 18 matches in the season, AIFF decided to revive the tournament.
