2018 Federation Cup (Bangladesh)

The 2018 Federation Cup, also known as the Walton Federation Cup 2018[2] due to the sponsorship from Walton Group, was the 30th edition of the tournament. Thirteen teams competed for this cup. Consecutively winning the previous two editions of the tournament, Abahani completed their second hattrick and 11th Federation Cup title by defeating Bashundhara Kings in the finals by 3-1.[3] This earned them a slot in the group stage of the 2019 AFC Cup.
