[edit] History

Universidad has been considered the 3rd best team from the capital city of Tegucigalpa, leaving behind teams such as Troya, Atletico Indio and Federal. Universidad has had the luxury of being CONCACAF runner-up once, a luxury which big clubs such as Marathón and Motagua have never achieved.

Universidad has had many financial problems since the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras stopped funding the team for lack of revenue. One of the club's most recent problems required merging its name and board of directors with Broncos when they moved to Choluteca. The club has had to change its location numerous times; the stadiums were too big to get as many fans as they needed. They've been at Danlí, Tegucigalpa and as of now Choluteca.

The team was officially relegated to Liga de Ascenso de Honduras with three games left in the 2006-07 Clausura season.
