The Honduras national football team (called Selección de fútbol de Honduras in Spanish) plays for Honduras in international men's football games. The team is managed by the Federación de Fútbol de Honduras (which means "Federation of Football of Honduras").

Honduras joined FIFA in 1951 and was a founding member of CONCACAF in 1961. CONCACAF is the main football organization for North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Before that, Honduras was part of a group called CCCF from 1938 to 1961.

Honduras is one of only three teams from Central America to win CONCACAF's biggest competition, the CONCACAF Championship, which they won in 1981. They also finished third in the Copa América in 2001, which was their first time playing in that tournament. Locally, they have won the Copa Centroamericana four times.

The team has played in the FIFA World Cup three times: in 1982, 2010, and 2014. They have not yet made it past the first round (group stage) in the World Cup.

Team History

The Honduras national football team in 1946.

The Honduras national team played its very first game in September 1921. This game was part of the Independence Centenary Games in Guatemala City. They lost 9–0 to Guatemala. This first international match was organized to celebrate Central American Independence.

In their first appearance at the Central American and Caribbean Games in 1930, Honduras won two games and lost three. They beat Jamaica (5–1) and El Salvador (4–1). They lost to Cuba and Costa Rica twice.

The 1970 World Cup and the Football War

Before the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador had a difficult time, which became known as the Football War. This name came about after a special play-off game between the two countries to decide who would qualify. This political problem eventually led to a conflict that lasted about 100 hours.

Honduras started their qualifying journey by beating Costa Rica and Jamaica. They easily won both games against Jamaica with a total score of 5–1. They also beat Costa Rica 1–0 at home in Tegucigalpa and tied 1–1 away. This led to a final match against El Salvador.

Honduras won the first game against El Salvador 1–0 in Tegucigalpa on June 8, 1969. The coach was Carlos Padilla Velásquez, and Leonard Welch scored the only goal. Honduras then lost the second game 3–0 in San Salvador. Because of this, a deciding play-off game was needed. This game was played in the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City on June 27. El Salvador won 3–2, which meant Honduras was out of the competition.

Playing in the 1982 World Cup

Honduras won the 1981 CONCACAF Championship and qualified for the World Cup for the first time in 1982. They played well, drawing 1–1 against both host country Spain and Northern Ireland. However, they were eliminated in the first round after losing their last match to Yugoslavia 1–0.

Honduras finished second in the 1985 CONCACAF Championship. They lost their final match 2–1 against Canada, who then qualified for the 1986 World Cup. Later, they were runners-up at the 1991 CONCACAF Gold Cup, losing to the United States.

For the 1998 World Cup, Honduras was eliminated by Jamaica and Mexico. Even though Honduras had a huge 11–3 win against Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, Jamaica beat Mexico, which allowed Jamaica to move forward.

The 2001 Copa América

Since 1993, the CONMEBOL football organization has invited teams from other regions to play in their championship, the Copa América. Honduras joined the 2001 tournament at the last minute because Argentina pulled out just one day before it started. The team arrived only a few hours before their first game and barely had enough players. Despite these challenges, Honduras made it to the quarter-finals, where they surprised everyone by beating Brazil 2–0. In the semi-finals, Colombia defeated Honduras 2–0.

Honduras also reached the final round of qualifying for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. However, they did not qualify after losing at home to Trinidad & Tobago and away against Mexico in their last two matches. In the game against Trinidad and Tobago, Honduras hit the goal post eight times!

Playing in the 2010 World Cup

On October 14, 2009, Honduras qualified for the 2010 World Cup. They secured their spot with a 1–0 win against El Salvador, earning them the third automatic qualifying position from their group.

In the World Cup, Honduras was in a group with Chile, Spain, and Switzerland. They lost their first match to Chile 1–0. Then, they lost 2–0 to Spain. In their final group match, they drew 0–0 against Switzerland. They finished last in their group and were eliminated.

Playing in the 2014 World Cup

For the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, Honduras automatically advanced to the third round. This was because they were ranked third among CONCACAF teams in March 2011. They qualified for the final round by winning their group, which included Panama, Canada, and Cuba. After losing their first home game to Panama, Honduras bounced back. They beat Canada 8–1 in their last group match, which helped them win the group ahead of Panama.

In the final qualifying round, called the "Hexagonal," six teams played each other home and away. Honduras started strong, beating the United States 2–1. They also came back from being two goals down to draw 2–2 with Mexico. After losing three of their next four matches, they traveled to Mexico City to play Mexico in the Azteca Stadium. Honduras was losing again but scored twice in the second half for an amazing 2–1 win. They then drew 2–2 against Panama at home. In their final two games, Honduras beat Costa Rica 1–0 at home and qualified with a 2–2 draw against Jamaica in Kingston.

In the World Cup Finals in Brazil, Honduras again finished last in their group. They lost 3–0 to France and Switzerland, and 2–1 to Ecuador. The match against France was special because it was the first time goal-line technology was used to award a goal at the World Cup. It was an own-goal by Honduras's goalkeeper, Noel Valladares. Against Ecuador, Carlo Costly scored Honduras's first World Cup goal in 31 years.

Recent Challenges

Alfredo Mejía played many games for the Honduras national football team.

In 2017, Honduras did not qualify for the 2018 World Cup. They had mixed results in the final qualifying stage. On the last match day, Honduras beat Mexico 3–2. This, along with Panama's win against Costa Rica and the United States' loss, meant Honduras finished fourth. This sent them to a play-off against Australia. After a 0–0 draw at home, Honduras lost 3–1 in Sydney and was eliminated. This loss led to coach Jorge Luis Pinto leaving. Several experienced players also retired from the national team.

For the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Fabián Coito became the new coach. Honduras was expected to do well but finished last in their group. They lost to Jamaica and then to Curaçao. Even though they won their final group game 4–0 against El Salvador, it wasn't enough. This tournament marked the end of the national team careers for veteran players Emilio Izaguirre and Brayan Beckeles.

In 2021, Honduras performed well in the first CONCACAF Nations League Finals. They beat Costa Rica in a penalty-shootout to finish third. They had lost 1–0 to the United States in the semi-finals. In the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Honduras did better in the group stage, thanks to forwards Alberth Elis and Romell Quioto. However, both players got injured, and Honduras was eliminated by Mexico 3–0 in the quarter-finals.

For the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification, Honduras was expected to qualify. However, they had their worst performance ever in a World Cup qualifying cycle. They did not win a single game, with only four draws and ten losses. After a 4–1 loss to the United States, coach Coito was replaced by Hernán Darío Gómez. Despite the change, the team continued to struggle. This showed problems within Honduran football, including poor leadership and a lack of support for youth development and training facilities.

Home Stadium

Honduras plays most of its home games at Estadio Nacional Chelato Uclés in Tegucigalpa.

The national team used to play at Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula. However, they stopped using it as their main stadium because the facilities were getting old. Estadio Francisco Morazán also sometimes hosts home games.

Estadio Nilmo Edwards in La Ceiba has also hosted friendly matches since 2007.
