“The ongoing Federation Cup was supposed to have been held last year but we could not owing to the coronavirus lockdown. That is why we are organising it here now. And the teams qualified for it from the 69 th senior Nationals held last year,” Ramavatar Singh, the VFI’s CEO, told The Hindu.

He said the top eight men’s teams from the recent 70 th Nationals and the top four women’s sides along with the host team will play next month’s Federation Cup in Bhilwara.
