The 5th edition was originally supposed to be held in Bhubaneswar by Odisha Sports in close coordination with AIFF.

But it had to be postponed owing to the second wave of the pandemic which hit hard. Keeping options open, the League Committee had taken a decision to conduct it later in a proposed new window subject to health parameters.
