303 Chivas FC Acquired by Jorge Espinoza, Rebrands as Inter Mile High FC

Armando Molina named Club President and General Manager as Colorado club enters a new era ahead of Mountain Premier League play.

DENVER, CO — August 21, 2026 — The Mountain Premier League (MPL) today announced that 303 Chivas FC has been acquired by Colorado businessman and soccer supporter Armando Molina and will immediately rebrand as Inter Mile High FC. The transaction transfers full ownership and operational control of the club from former owner and general manager Brandon Garcia to Armando Molina, who will lead the club into its next chapter as a founding member of the MPL community.

The rebrand — unveiled today alongside a new crest featuring Colorado's mountain skyline, the club's "IMH" monogram, and the "Est. 2026" designation — marks a full identity refresh designed to position the club for long-term growth on and off the field.

A New Chapter for Colorado Soccer

Under Molina's ownership, Inter Mile High FC will invest in professionalizing every layer of club operations, including player experience, matchday presentation, community programming, and commercial partnerships. The club will retain its Colorado roots while broadening its identity to reflect the diverse players, families, and supporters that make up the Front Range soccer community.

"This is more than just a name change. This is the beginning of a new chapter," said Brandon Garcia, former owner and general manager. "As we move from 303 Chivas to Inter Mile High, our goal is to build a stronger identity, create a professional image, and establish a club that represents our players, families, supporters, and the Colorado soccer community."

Garcia, who founded and built 303 Chivas FC into a recognized name in Colorado amateur and semi-professional circles, will transition out of day-to-day operations following the sale. His work laying the foundation of the club — from its roster development to its supporter base — provides the platform on which Inter Mile High FC will now build.

Ownership Vision

Armando Molina acquires the club with a mandate to elevate its standards across every touchpoint — from training environment and player pathways to branding, media, and fan engagement. Inter Mile High FC will operate as a modern, community-anchored club with a professional front office and a clear competitive vision within the Mountain Premier League.

"Our vision is simple: to compete and have a better season than before, learn from our mistakes, and start improving our players," said Jorge Espinoza, member of Inter Mile High FC. "We want to build a competitive team."

Armando Molina Named Club President and General Manager

As part of the transition, the club also announced that Armando Molina has been appointed Club President and General Manager of Inter Mile High FC. Molina will oversee day-to-day club operations, roster and technical direction, community and youth development initiatives, and commercial partnerships.

The club additionally confirmed FUT90 as a supporting sponsor of Inter Mile High FC.

"I'm truly grateful and blessed to officially step into the role of Club President of Inter Mile High FC," said Armando Molina. "I want to thank everyone at Inter Mile High FC for trusting me with this responsibility, as well as FUT90 for believing in and supporting our club as a sponsor. I'm excited for what we can accomplish together."

"This is more than just a new title — it's an opportunity to help build something special," Molina continued. "Our vision for the future is to continue growing Inter Mile High FC both on and off the field, create more opportunities for players, strengthen our community, develop our youth, build strong partnerships, and continue pushing the club to higher levels."

"There is a lot of work ahead, but I'm excited for the challenge and ready to give everything I can to help move this club forward. The future is bright. The work starts now," Molina added. "Thank you to everyone who has supported Inter Mile High FC and everyone who will be part of this journey. Inter Mile High FC — the next chapter begins now."

Further announcements regarding the club's technical staff, roster, home venue, and inaugural MPL match schedule will follow in the coming weeks.
