The 2017 Indian Federation Cup was the 38th and last edition of the Federation Cup, the main domestic football cup competition in India. From next season, a reformed Super Cup will take place.[1] The top eight teams from the 2016–17 I-League season participated in the tournament hosted solely in Cuttack, Odisha.[2] The tournament is set to take place between 7 May to 21 May 2017.[2] Mohun Bagan are the defending champions.
