History

Professionalism in Sri Lanka did not exist until the General Secretary of Football Federation of Sri Lanka Jaswar Umar Lebbe initiated and designed this competition with the assistance and guidance of FIFA in 2018. Club selection process was through a “Club Licensing Criteria” in association with the Asian Football Confederation.

Since most of the clubs in this league haven't any FIFA Standard Stadiums, Sugathadasa Stadium was chosen as the venue to stage the tournament since the beginning.
