History
The National Stadium of Tegucigalpa was built during the administration of Tiburcio Carías Andino. The stadium was the Honduras national football team's home stadium in FIFA World Cup qualification for many years. In 1981, the stadium was host to 6 CONCACAF nations (Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, Canada, Haiti and Cuba) for qualifying matches for the 1982 World Cup, which saw Honduras qualify for a World Cup for the first time ever.[1] Since the 1998 completion of Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano, Estadio Nacional has no longer hosted the majority of the Honduran national team's home fixtures.
The stadium hosted the 2009 UNCAF Nations Cup, where Panama won its first Central American championship and Nicaragua qualified for its first Gold Cup.
