The Real Verdes Football Club was established in 1976 and currently competes in the Belize Premier Football League (BPFL). The team originated in Benque Viejo del Carmen, Belize, a small town situated on the border of Guatemala. The club is the one of the oldest active professional football teams in Belize and has been in existence since the inception of the Football Federation of Belize. In 2004, the official club name was changed to Hankook Verdes. Their home games are played at Norman Broaster Stadium.

The club has established an excellent reputation for the development of many past and current members of the Belize national football team.

In 1985, Hankook Verdes was the first team to represent Belize in the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. Throughout the history of Belizean Football, Real Verdes has represented its country more than any other club in Belize. The list of CONCACAF opponents includes professional teams such as Cruz Azul (Mexico); Real España, Club Deportivo Platense, Universidad NAH (Honduras); Club Xelajú MC, CSD Municipal, Comunicaciones, Amatitlan (Guatemala); and Luis Angel Firpo (El Salvador). Hankook Verdes has the most UNCAF Club Tournament appearances of any Belize Football Club.

Presently, Hankook Verdes are the national sub-champions of the BPFL.
