Club Deportivo Victoria is a Honduran football club based in La Ceiba, Atlántida. They have enjoyed success in the past having won the Honduran first division once. They currently play in the Honduran first division.

History

[edit]

Club Deportivo Victoria was founded on 15 November 1935 in La Ceiba. The club started out as the Instituto Manuel Bonilla which later was renamed Club Deportivo Victoria. The club was founded by Jose Felix Sosa Sosa, native of La Ceiba. Throughout his lifetime he received several accolades, and awards for being the rightful founder as in later years he was no longer involved in the club. Due to power struggles with friends of the club he decided to retire early.[1]

Later Miguel J. Kawas became president leading Victoria to their league title in the 1994–95 league.[2]

In 1995, the club won their first championship in 47 years by defeating Club Deportivo Olimpia in a two-legged final.[3] The club has also had some international success. In 2006, they managed to beat Deportivo Saprissa of Costa Rica[4] on their way to finish in fourth place in the UNCAF tournament.[5]

Club rivalries

[edit]

Clásico Ceibeño

[edit]

El Clásico Ceibeño (La Ceiba derby) is a football match played between Victoria and Vida, both teams from La Ceiba, Honduras.[6][7]

For the first season of professional football, a triangular tournament was organized to decide who would represent La Ceiba in the national league. The tournament was held between three clubs from the Liga Dionisio de Herrera, Vida, Victoria and Atlántida. Vida ultimately qualified for the 1965–66 league.[8]
