India - List of Federation Cup Winners


The Federation Cup was instituted as a tournament for champion clubs in 1977. The tournament did not provide entry for the champion teams of all the AIFF affiliates, for that would have not only brought in too many weak teams, but also would have meant only one team from Bengal, Goa, Maharashtra, Punjab and Kerala. So over the years the format changed and changed. It has not been held since 2017; since 2018, the Super Cup, contested between clubs from the I-League and the ISL, has succeeded the Federation Cup as the main knock-out tournament in the country.
