The 2023–24 season was the first season of Inter Kashi in existence. The club participated in the I-League, the second level of Indian football.

In May 2023, the All India Football Federation, the governing body of football in India, announced they would accept bids for new clubs to join 2023–24 I-League season onwards.[1] On 29 June 2023, it was announced that agreement for the Varanasi franchise had been reached between Kolkata-based RDB Group of Companies and European clubs Atlético Madrid and Inter Escaldes. FC Andorra had an association with Inter Escaldes, but did not have any direct role with Inter Kashi. The moniker of "Inter" was added because of the tie-up with Inter Escaldes.[2]
