The FAO League was brought up as Siddhartha Odisha First Division League in 2010 as Odisha's premier level football league. FAO introduced the league system to provide the footballing talents of the state a platform to showcase their abilities. The league system continued with the same format for seven years, until its revamp in 2018.

Since the inception of the FAO League, a total of five clubs have been crowned champions. Sunrise have won the most titles in league history, being crowned champions four times. Odisha Police have won the league twice whereas East Coast Railway, Sports Odisha, Radha Gobinda Club, and Radha Raman Club have each won it once.

In a total competition revamp, FAO League was converted to a threeptier first division highest level footballing league of the state in 2018. The First Division League currently has three tiers, Diamond, Gold and Silver leagues, followed by the Second Division.{{cite web|url=http://orisports.com/NewsDetails.aspx?nId=NTM3NA==|title=FAO to start Super Cup, Revamp FAO League|website=Orisports|date=9 May 2018|access-date=2 October 2022|archive-date=1 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221001190509/http://orisports.com/NewsDetails.aspx?nId=NTM3NA==|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=https://www.facebook.com/225325417530085/photos/a.529996197063004.1073741827.225325417530085/1847586815303929/?type=3&theater|title=FAO restructures domestic football|work=Football Association of Odisha|date=10 May 2018|access-date=16 May 2018|archive-date=16 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230116084153/https://www.facebook.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F225325417530085%2Fphotos%2Fa.529996197063004.1073741827.225325417530085%2F1847586815303929%2F%3Ftype%3D3%26theater|url-status=live}}
