General Interest

Honduras first sent a team to the Olympic Games in 1968 in Mexico City. The NOC missed the 1972 Games in Munich but returned four years later at Montreal 1976, where race walker Santiago Fonseca made his Olympic debut. He also competed at the Games in 1984 and 1988 to become the only Honduran athlete to have made three appearances at the Olympic Games.

Honduras was represented in men's football on four occasions between 2000 and 2016, missing only the 2004 Games in Athens. The team's best effort came at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, where the Hondurans progressed from Pool D and defeated the Republic of Korea 1-0 in the quarterfinals. Honduras then met a rampant Brazil in the semifinal, with the hosts claiming a 6-0 victory. Nigeria won the bronze medal match 3-2, but the fourth place is the closest any Honduran athlete or team has come to winning an Olympic medal.

In addition to football, athletes from Honduras also competed in taekwondo, athletics, boxing, weightlifting, judo, and swimming at Rio 2016.
