History
The league was established in 2020. The member clubs in the first season were announced[1] before being amended before the season commenced by clubs folding and moving divisions.[2] The proposed inaugural season was abandoned due to the Coronavirus pandemic. It was eventually launched in July 2021 for the 2021-22 season with some amends to the list of participating teams.
