There are many theories on how football started practice in Honduras. In the Atlantic Cost, caused by the increasing exportation of bananas in the cities of La Ceiba and Tela in that time they were the most important ports of the country.
Julio Luis Ustariz, a son of French immigrants wrote some memories that some merchants gave him a soccer ball in 1896 as a gift in Puerto Cortes. Since then soccer had been in practice in Honduras.
But until 1906 an official document by the republic's government hired a Guatemalan professor named Miguel Saravia to teach soccer at the Escuela Normal de Varones in Tegucigalpa. In 1909, three years after the arrival of the professor Saravia; the Spanish monk Niglia made soccer appear at the Instituto Salesiano San Miguel in Comayagua.
Football became popular, especially in higher classes, although it couldn't compete against baseball which at the time was the most popular sport until 1917. The team known as Juventud Olimpica founded in 1912 became Club Deportivo Olimpia.
Like Olimpia other clubs were founded in Tegucigalpa, like the teams Lituania, Signos, Trebol, Honduras, Atletico Deportes, La Nueva Era, Colon and Spring, all of which don't exist now.
It was until 1925 which football became to gain strength in the second most important city, San Pedro Sula with the foundation of Club Deportivo Marathón. For some historians of that era, before Marathon (was named after a rugby ball) there was a club named Club Patria but with very small amount of duracion, the president of the Republic, Dr. Miguel Paz Barahona named the sporting fields Patria Marathon.
The year 1926 a team surged which was were a lot of good players and for many, the real birth of what is now today Olimpia, Argentina and Espana (known as los Tejeros) which had a training camp at Barrio Guanacaste, Tegucigalpa.
In the year 1928 Club Deportivo Motagua was born, the name was given since at the time the river Motagua was being in dispute between Guatemala and Honduras. The enthusiastic Dr. Marco Antonio Ponce and the writer and poet Marco Antonio Rosa decided name "Motagua" for the disappearance of "America Aguila" and "Honduras Atletica"
