Background
In June 2021 it was proposed by the organisers of ISL after a meeting with the CEOs of all the ISL clubs, that a new developmental league, called Reliance Foundation Development League, would be introduced in 2022.{{Cite web|last=Bangde|first=Arjun|date=2021-06-30|title=ISL to propose a new league for reserve and U-21 players|url=https://www.footballcounter.com/2021/isl-to-propose-a-new-league-for-reserve-and-u-21-players/|access-date=2021-12-06|website=Football Counter|language=en-US}} This new league would consist of the youth and reserve teams of all the ISL clubs, with aim to develop young players as there has been limited number of competitions and leagues outside the ISL since the pandemic.
The inaugural season of the proposed two-month league will be held in Goa inside a bio-secure bubble between January and March, following the same medical and safety procedures for 2021–22 ISL season, but got postponed to April 15.{{Cite web|title=Hygiene officers and four sets of training protocols - What could be the 'new normal' during ISL 2020-21? {{!}} Goal.com|url=https://www.goal.com/en/news/indian-football-isl-2020-21-covid-19-training-protocols/12tggep54ckps1s4ha239ipnaa|access-date=2021-12-06|website=www.goal.com|language=en}} The league was confirmed on 7 April 2022.{{cite web|title=Seven Hero ISL clubs to join RFYC in inaugural Reliance Foundation Development League from April 15|url=https://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/seven-hero-isl-clubs-to-join-rfyc-in-inaugural-reliance-foundation-development-league-from-april-15|date=7 April 2022}}
