Utah Rio FC, headquartered in Pleasant Grove, was founded in the Spring of 2021 and began its first season with four teams. With dedicated leadership from founder and CEO Diego Godoy, along with a talented coaching staff, the club quickly established itself as a competitive force. Two years later, Utah Rio FC has grown to 16 teams and has experienced significant success on multiple podiums, as well as promotions to higher divisions. As we move into the Spring of 2024, Utah Rio FC continues to be driven by its commitment to player development, coaching excellence, and a passion for the beautiful game. Let's go Rio!
Diego Godoy, a native of Argentina, was born and raised with a love for soccer that eventually led to a professional playing career. After moving to the United States, Diego continued to pursue his passion for soccer by playing at the semi-professional level. Following his playing days, he transitioned naturally into coaching. Drawing on his experience coaching his own children at various clubs, Diego recognized an opportunity to pursue a long-held goal: starting and managing his own soccer club.
At Utah Rio FC, our primary focus is on the development of our players. We are committed to fostering a culture where our coaches prioritize player growth and development above winning. Our coaches are not only passionate about the sport, but they also understand that giving equal attention to each player under their care is essential for achieving their full potential. We believe that proper development leads to confident players, who are better equipped to achieve success on the field. Ultimately, our goal is to create a team of well-trained, educated, and confident players who are capable of contributing to wins, making the experience of winning even more meaningful and rewarding.
