History
The club was founded on June 12, 1912 . Since the organization of the professional national league in the country in 1965, Olimpia participated in all tournaments, never leaving the top division. Twice, in 1972 and 1988, Olimpia became the winner of the CONCACAF Champions Cup (now the CONCACAF Champions League), after which both times it was inferior in matches for the Inter-American Cup to the Libertadores Cup winners.
In 2016, Olimpia won its 30th title for Honduras, winning Clausura in the 2015/16 season. The Lions are more than twice ahead of the second team in the number of champion titles, Motagua , the 13-time champion of Honduras.
The club holds home matches at the Tiburcio Carias Andino stadium, which seats 30,000 spectators.
