History

Founded in 2013 as Amenity Sports Academy under Amenity Public School, the club was later functioning as Odisha FC academy branch, before rebranding as Corbett Tigers. Its 2021 I-League Qualifiers entry has been rather controversial because state association didn't conduct that year's qualifying tournament, directly nominating the club instead. They began their 2021 I-League Qualifiers journey with a 1–1 draw against ARA FC on 5 October at the Bangalore Football Stadium, eventually finishing group on 4th position.
