TheHonduran Supercup is aHonduranfootball competition held yearly as a preseason match between the reigning champions of theLiga Nacional and theHonduran Cup. The competition started unofficially in 1997,[1] but was discontinued after just two seasons. In2015, it was intended to be reactivated, but the match betweenF.C.

One year later, anew Supercup edition was finally reestablished after 17 years of dormancy.[2] The Honduran football authorities however, did not consider the competition official until2017.[3]
In January 2015, the Honduran Secretary of State for Culture, Arts and Sports gathered with theHonduran League to discuss a possible reactivation of the competition in 2016.[4] An official Super Cup has not been played since 1999.
In 2014 and 2016, there were three exhibition versions of the tournament re-branded asSupercopa Diez, sponsored by local daily sports newspaperDiario Deportivo Diez.[5] These unofficial editions faced the champions of theLiga Nacional against the champions of theLiga de Ascenso.
