History

Hispano was founded on 3 July 1945 by Miguel Bulnes, Tafael Ruiz and Manuel Bulnes in a small

That same year, Hispano bought

Marco Mejia, Henry Jimenez, Johny Galdamez, Gerson Amaral, Rigoberto Padilla and Roy Posas
became players for Hispano.

Hispano surprised everyone including their fans and directors during their third season. They manage to qualify to the playoffs and at the same time became one of the most difficult teams to beat in the Honduran league.[2] In their fourth season, the club ended in fifth place in the standing and didn't qualify to the playoffs. In the 2007 Apertura season, the team started the season well but faltered at the end finishing in seventh place and missing the playoffs for a second year in a row. Edwin Pavon, the coach who led them to the playoffs for the first time was fired and was replaced by Hector Vargas.
