History

The tournament began in 2017 and is hosted every other year. For 2021, the decision was made to make the tournament a U-16 tournament versus the previous three iterations which had been U-15. However, the tournament was ultimately postponed. [1] Later, Bangladesh was declared to be the host of the 4th edition, which is going to take place in U-15 format on late 2022.[ citation needed ]
