The Honduras 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. To date, the team has qualified three times for the finals of the FIFA World Cup, in 1982, 2010 and 2014.

Honduras contests the Central America derby against Costa Rica. Honduras has lost most of the matches of this fixture, winning 20 times to Costa Rica's 22 victories.

How they qualified
<\/STRONG>Following their group-phase exit at South Africa 2010 and the departure of coach Reinaldo Rueda, La H went through a rocky period. The appointment of Luis Fernando Suarez in March 2011 brought stability to the national set-up, however, with the new coach also working hard with Honduras’ youth sides, steering the U-23s to the quarter-finals of the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament London 2012.

Having gauged the quality of the country’s new generation, Suarez set about rejuvenating the full national team, giving it fresh impetus by drafting in a clutch of promising youngsters. The result was a convincing performance in Round 3 of the CONCACAF preliminaries, with Los Catrachos topping their group on goal difference from Panama to knock out Canada and Cuba.

They went on to take the third and last direct qualifying slot in the final six-team phase, an achievement made possible by their form at home, where they dropped just four points, and an era-defining defeat of Mexico at their Azteca fortress in September 2013.<\/P>","0D38FD3F79E8DA6B":"26.42","A0203E0DC6D21570517EAC290512B5EC":"96","A48D894461F59B01728C25D16314AB2E":"Colombia","DB8BFDDC9C8E07942DF1262A4753E432":"2023-7-16","A16C626949206183":"620","C94196B72475EBB6":"Tegucigalpa","B446C83F31D1C22B96D0F5814C545F71":"Colombia","067D9F87C96BD4F2B28E2CB1E6BE3899":"Honduras","C48FA7B3E3429BEB6C4CA200F4E63E16":"Estadio Ol\u00edmpico Metropolitano","0FA2227E78AF1E09":"Honduras","23F2951B3C27EA49CDF6AA0A6796350C":"","DCFA0F6214DA56A5BD4BD4CF76FDDC2937B8E6BEADCA6D4E":"1","F7B425C4468C1ACD":"","9597521584EB9A23417B8E85D33BF2A8":"Reinaldo Rueda Rivera","A21C4DD268581BBF0A523D040197E428":"Colombia,Chile,CR Flamengo (RJ),Atletico Nacional,Ecuador,Honduras","96C6B43226915F23":"92428","04E1633E3F850098":"1","7735E6F22FA57345BFDC595703A9D154":"
