The league was inaugurated by then Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar in the presence of eminent women's football legends. The Vedanta Women's League has since completed two seasons, with over 200 girls given an opportunity to play football. The winner of the 2018 edition, Panjim Footballers, went on to play in the Indian Women's League as the sole team from Goa.[3]
