Honduras' trophy history

Honduras's only regional title came in 1981, winning the old CONCACAF Championship under a final-standings format rather than a single decisive match. Since the Gold Cup era began in 1991, Honduras have reached one final, the tournament's very first edition in 1991, but lost to the United States. Honduras have qualified for three World Cups (1982, 2010, 2014) but have never won a match at the tournament, managing only draws and narrow losses against stronger opposition. The country's football culture remains passionate despite the limited silverware, with derby matches between capital-city rivals Motagua and Olimpia among the most fiercely contested fixtures in Central American football.
