The 1998 Indian Federation Cup, also known as 1998 Kalyani Black Label Federation Cup due to sponsorship reasons, was the 21st season of the Indian Federation Cup. It was held between 23 August and 12 September 1998. Salgaocar were the defending champions, but were eliminated in the first round by State Bank of Travancore. Mohun Bagan won the tournament for the tenth time, following a 2–1 over East Bengal in the final played at the Salt Lake Stadium, Kolkata, a replay of the previous edition's semifinal when the latter won.[1] Amit Das and Hemanta Dora of Mohun Bagan were named the Player and Goalkeeper of the Tournament.[2]
Qualification
Шаблон:Main article For the 1998 edition, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) decided to increase the number of entries to justify the tournament as that "for champion clubs" on the back of two decades of "[failure] to achieve its propagated aims and objectives."[3] Accordingly, on 16 July 1998, the President of AIFF, Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi, announced that the edition would have 48 teams competing. Eight teams would be seeded directly into the round of 16 and eight other teams would qualify from five zones: North, East, North-East, West and South. He added that the qualifying rounds would be played on a knock-out basis, and that top two teams from South Zone and the winners of the four other zones would qualify for the tournament proper, while the other two would come from a play-off among runners-up of the four zones.[4] Salgaocar, East Bengal, Mohun Bagan, Mohammedan, Border Security Force, Indian Telephone Industries, Dempo and Churchill Brothers were announced as the eight seeded teams. A report carried by Sportstar said that the teams were seeded based on their quarter-final entry in the previous edition.[5]
The qualification round saw 37 teams vying from five zones for the eight spots. A then newly formed club, Bengal Mumbai, was not allowed to enter the competition from the West Zone as, according to the AIFF, "the team would have to come through the state league and prove themselves."[4][2]
