Real España

Real Club Deportivo España, Real España, or simply España is a Honduran football club, which plays in the Liga Nacional de Honduras. With 12 championships, España is one of the most accomplished Honduran football clubs, and its popularity is recognized outside of Honduras' boundaries. Their title of Real (English for Royal) was awarded by King Juan Carlos I in 1977. This is a unique distinction, as they are the only club outside of Spain to be so honored by the Spanish monarchy. They are based in San Pedro Sula, Cortés, and their home venue is the Estadio Francisco Morazán.
