History
Founded in 2013 as Amenity Sports Academy under Amenity Public School, the club was later functioning as Odisha FC academy branch. Its 2021 I-League qualifiers entry has been rather controversial because state association didn't conduct that year's qualifying tournament, directly nominating the club instead.[4] They began their I-League Qualifiers journey with a 1–1 draw against ARA FC on 5 October at the Bangalore Football Stadium, eventually finishing group on 4th position.[5]
