It was established in 1948 as the league below the Second Division while Bangladesh was still under Pakistani rule.[1][2][3] From 2022–23 season, the league is being arranged as an under-17 league.
The league is the lowest division of semi-professional football in the country and the two top-finishing teams are automatically promoted to the Dhaka Second Division Football League. While the bottom two teams are relegated to the country's amateur age-level football league, the Bangladesh Pioneer Football League.[4][5]
