Club rivalries

Clásico Nacional

El Clásico Nacional (The National Classic) is a Honduran National derby played between Olimpia and Marathón. The derby receives the "national" adjective more because of a geographic matter (Olimpia is from

and Marathón is from San Pedro Sula, the biggest cities of the country) than for a football or rivalry matter. Olimpia won its first national title in September 1928. At that time Olimpia (representing the central zone of the country) won a final series of three matches against Marathón, champion of the northern league. Following this result, a big rivalry began between these two teams. The Clasico Capitalino (Capital's Classic) is played between Olimpia and

Their matches are also known as the Clasico Local (Local Classic). There is a huge rivalry between the clubs and their fans; (''La Ultra Fiel'' (of Olimpia) and ''La Revo'' (of Motagua).

Additionally, matches between Olimpia and Marathón do not generate the same expectations and polemics as matches between Olimpia and Motagua do.
