Odisha Football Club Reserves and Academy is the reserve side and youth setup of Indian Super League side Odisha FC. Based in Bhubaneswar, the side was unveiled on 6 March 2018 and participates in the Elite League, the elite youth football league of Indian football.

History[edit]

On 20 February 2018, it was announced by the All India Football Federation, the organizing body for Indian football, that the Delhi Dynamos, along with six other Indian Super League sides, would field a reserve team in the I-League 2nd Division, India's second division football league.[1] The reserve side squad and coaches were then unveiled a few weeks later. On 6 March 2018, Francisco Perez Lazaro was confirmed as the reserve side's first head coach.[2] The 2017–18 I-League 2nd Division was their first and last season in the league. There onward, the team participates in the Elite League, India's elite youth league. The team participated as Delhi Dynamos FC Reserves until the 2018–19 season since the main club was re-branded as Odisha FC, and hence there onward, the team participates in the league as Odisha FC Reserves.

Odisha[edit]

On 31 August 2019, Delhi Soccer Private Limited signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Odisha, to re-brand the franchise as Odisha FC.[3] As per the MoU, it was mutually decided that the club's first team, youth teams, youth football development program and grassroots football development program will be based in Odisha.[4]
