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