The Honduran national football team, nicknamed Los Catrachos, La Bicolor or La H, is the national team of Honduras and is controlled by the Federación Nacional Autónoma de Fútbol de Honduras (FENAFUTH). They are a rising team in CONCACAF, an ascent that started with their third place finish in the 2001 Copa América, where they were a late invitee, due to a withdrawal by Argentina one day prior to kickoff. In October 2009, they confirmed qualification to the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which was their first appearance in the competition since 1982.[2] The Central America derby is Honduras versus Costa Rica and Honduras has lost most of the matches of this fixture winning 16 times while the Ticos have won 18 times.

Honduras is also notable for the Football War which was fought against El Salvador, after the Salvadorans qualified for the 1970 World Cup eliminating Honduras. The elimination by the Salvadorans initiated the armed conflict after political tensions due to the deportations of Salvadoran nationals (see Football War).

History

The national team made its debut in the Independence Centenary Games held in Guatemala City in September 1921, losing 10–1 to Guatemala.[3]

During their first appearance at the Central American and Caribbean Games in 1930, Honduras posted a record of two wins and three losses. Their only wins came against Jamaica (5–1) and El Salvador (4–1), while they lost two games to Cuba and Costa Rica.

The Football War started after losing a qualifying game for the 1970 World Cup against El Salvador and being eliminated. After massive rioting between fans, on 14 July 1969, the Salvadoran army launched an attack against Honduras. A cease fire was put in effect six days later.

Honduras won the 1981 CONCACAF Championship and qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 1982. They finished second in the 1985 CONCACAF Championship losing their final match 2 to 1 against Canada, who would eventually qualify to the 1986 FIFA World Cup. Their next major accomplishment was being runner-ups at the 1991 CONCACAF Gold Cup losing against host nation, United Sates. For the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Jamaica's merits left Honduras out of the final round of qualification. Despite Honduras' overwhelming victory 11 to 3 against St.Vincent & the Grenadines, Jamaica defeated Mexico in Kingston. The scoreless draw from Jamaica's visit to Honduras ultimately allowed the Reggae Boys to advance to the next round. Hopes changed for 2002 as Honduras advanced to the hexagonal round. Despite Honduras effort, they were left at the edge of the 2002 FIFA World Cup losing at home against Trinidad & Tobago, and at the Azteca against Mexico, in their final two games of the qualifiers. The match against Trinidad saw Honduras hit the goal post seven times, but despite their effort they lost by the minimum amount. The second World Cup appearance was in the 2010 FIFA World Cup when Honduras strikingly qualified by their victory away at El Salvador and Costa Rica's tie against the USA. Honduras has won the UNCAF Nations Cup three times in 1993, 1995 and 2011.

1982 FIFA World Cup

Honduras qualified for the World Cup finals for the first time in 1982. Despite getting draws against host Spain, 1–1, and Northern Ireland, 1–1, they could not come up with a win against Yugoslavia losing 0–1.

2001 Copa América

Since 1993, CONMEBOL has invited teams from other confederations to participate in their confederation championship, Copa América. Honduras took part as one of the last minute teams added for 2001 Copa América. (Argentina dropped out one day before kickoff.) The team arrived only a few hours before the tournament's first game and with barely enough players. Despite the odds, Honduras progressed onto the quarter-final stage where they faced and defeated Brazil 2–0. In the semi-finals however, it was Colombia that knocked off Honduras, 0–2.

2010 FIFA World Cup

On October 14, 2009, Honduras qualified to the 2010 FIFA World Cup, after a 1–0 win against El Salvador gave them the third automatic qualifying spot from the Fourth Round of CONCACAF Qualifying.[4]

Honduras faced Chile, Spain, and Switzerland, respectively.[5] In their first match they lost to Chile 0–1 by a goal from Jean Beausejour. They faced Spain in the second match and lost 0–2 by 2 goals from David Villa. In their last match against Switzerland they got a draw and finished the World Cup with 1 point.

Stadium

Honduras plays the majority of its home games at Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula. El Olímpico was built in 1997, and has a capacity of 53,000. Aside from being the home of the national team, it was the home of the 1997 Central American Olympics and is currently the home of C.D. Marathón.

When not playing at the Estadio Olímpico, the national team also plays at Estadio Tiburcio Carías Andino in Tegucigalpa, known popularly as Estadio Nacional. El Estadio Nacional opened on March 15, 1948, and seats 38,000 people. Since 2007 the team has played some games at Estadio Nilmo Edwards in La Ceiba. Generally the matches played in La Ceiba are friendly games against teams from the regional confederation. In the past, Honduras played their games in San Pedro Sula at Estadio Francisco Morazán, famous for witnessing Honduras' first home victory against Mexico in the 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Current team status

2014 World Cup Qualification

Honduras' World Cup journey began with an automatic bye to the third round of the qualification because of their third place position in the FIFA World Ranking. The Honduras team qualified for the final round by finishing first in their third-round group, which included Panama, Canada, and Cuba. The first game began with an upsetting loss against Panama at home. Honduras managed to keep composure despite their tie in the second game in Canada. They went ahead to win both of their matches against Cuba and left with a tie from Panama. In their last match, Honduras recorded an impressive 8-1 win over Canada, allowing them to finish first in their group ahead of Panama.

Honduras disputed the fourth and final round of CONCACAF qualification for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The final round, sometimes referred as the hexagonal, is composed of six teams in which each team faces every opponent in a home-and-away format. In their first two games, Honduras faced regional giants USA and Mexico at home. Honduras successfully defeated USA 2 to 1 in their opening hexagonal match.
