By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The Liga Hondubet Apertura 2025 title will be decided tonight at the Estadio Nacional “Chelato” Uclés in Tegucigalpa, where Olimpia and Marathón meet for the decisive second leg of a final that remains wide open after a 2–2 draw in San Pedro Sula.
Kickoff is set for 7:00 pm.
The first leg delivered intensity from start to finish, with both sides trading goals and momentum. Marathón struck early and again late, while Olimpia responded with determination to keep the series level heading into the capital.
With no away‑goals rule in effect for this final, the scenario is straightforward: whoever wins tonight becomes champion. If the match ends in a draw after 90 minutes, the series will move to extra time and, if still tied, a penalty shootout will determine the new monarch of Honduran football.
Tonight’s final also arrives at a moment of transition across the region. While Honduras is closing out its Apertura tournament, several Central American leagues are preparing to launch their respective Clausura championships. In Belize, the Premier League is set to kick off its new season on January 17, with Verdes entering as defending champions after securing the title on December 13, 2025, with a tight 1–0 aggregate victory over Progresso.
For Olimpia, the stakes are historic. A victory would secure their 40th league title, further cementing their status as the most successful club in the country. Marathón, meanwhile, arrive with the ambition of lifting their tenth national championship.
The atmosphere in Tegucigalpa is expected to be electric, with a packed stadium and nationwide attention focused on a final.
