POMIS Cup (President of Maldives Invitational Soccer) was kicked off 1987 in a bid to promote the standard of local football in Maldives. This is the only international soccer club tournament held in Maldives.

Due to various reasons, Football Association of Maldives (FAM) was not able to stage the tournament in the years of 2002 & 2004 to 2014.

On 22 December 2014, Football Association of Maldives (FAM) normalisation committee has decided to introduce POMIS Cup again and will start January 2015 . In 2015, Maldives top two teams of Dhivehi League play against two foreign teams in the POMIS Cup.

From 2016 onward, there will be four Maldivian teams (top four teams of Dhivehi Premier League) to participate the tournament along with two foreign teams. On 19 January 2015, POMIS Cup committee have rebranded the President of Maldives Invitational Soccer Cup to the People of Maldives Invitational Soccer Cup.
