United Premier Soccer League National Director Matt Kahla said, "Inter City SC has risen from FC Dallas El Paso, and we're excited to welcome them into the UPSL Southwest Conference. Miguel Murillo is among the most respected soccer men in all of West Texas, and he's committed to a style honed from years playing professionally in Mexico. We think this is a great move at a good time for FC Dallas El Paso. We wish Inter City SC continued success in 2019 and beyond."

Miguel Murillo is President of Inter City SC. Murillo, who debuted for Club America before embarking on lengthy pro career, also is the Director of Coaching for FC Dallas (MLS) Academy in El Paso.

Inter City SC Captain Gabriel Carreno said, "The structure of our roster is guys who want to play in front of their families (and) train under intense and competitive conditions. These are all collegiate-level athletes who haven't had the opportunity to play at home because there wasn't the opportunity or the platform. Now our roster consists of former (NCAA) athletes who are ready to be a part of the first, best opportunity to play at a high level at home."

Inter City SC (3-0-2 overall) opened its inaugural UPSL Southwest Conference campaign by splitting its first two games against local rival Southwest FC. The club recently defeated Tapatio FC, 2-1, on Saturday, May 25, 2019, and has taken nine points from its first five games.
