Club Deportivo Lobos de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional Francisco Morazán, most commonly known as Universidad Pedagógica or Lobos UPNFM is a Honduran football club, based In Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The club currently plays in the Honduran Liga Nacional. History The club was founded on August 10, 2010, as a sports club for the university. By coincidence, that very same year a place opened up in the Liga Nacional de Ascenso. Until that year, major Honduran teams had fielded affiliates that competed in the Liga de Ascenso. A reform in the league structure forced the withdrawal of those teams, and allowed UPNFM to move right into the spot.
