The 2012–13 football season was the 47th Honduran Liga Nacional edition, since its establishment in 1965. The season was divided into two tournaments (Apertura and Clausura) and determined the 61st and 62nd national champions. The campaign began on 28 July 2012,[1][2] and ended on May 2013. Club Deportivo Olimpia was the reigning champions after winning in 2011–12.

2012–13 teams

On 3 June 2012, C.D. Real Sociedad obtained the promotion to the Liga Nacional as winner of the 2011–12 Liga de Ascenso.[3] Platense F.C. which had been relegated last season, bought C.D. Necaxa's franchise and will play in first division.

Apertura

The fixtures for the Apertura tournament were announced on 4 July; with the results Real C.D. España 1–0 C.D. Real Sociedad and Atlético Choloma 4–2 C.D.S. Vida, the tournament opened fire on 28 July.[4][5] On rounds 2 and 3, Vida included midfielder Luis Jaramillo on their lineups despite being ineligible to play; on 12 September, the Northern Disciplinary Commission made the decision to award both matches to Real España and Victoria 3–0.[6]

On 28 October, Club Deportivo Olimpia became the first team to secure a spot for the postseason, after defeating Platense F.C. 0–1 at Estadio Excélsior in Puerto Cortés.[7] C.D. Victoria also qualified along Olimpia directly to the semifinals finishing second. On the other hand, C.D. Motagua–Real España and C.D. Marathón–Atlético Choloma had to play a playoff round.

The semifinal encounters were settled on 21 November, as Motagua and Atlético Choloma defeated Real España and Marathón respectively. Motagua crushed Real España with a 7–3 on aggregate.[8] Meanwhile, Atlético Choloma dispatched Marathón after a 2–2 aggregated score but with more away goals scored.[9]

Once in the semifinals, Olimpia got rid of Atlético Choloma with a 2–1 aggregate, meanwhile Victoria and Motagua finished with a 3–3 global score, however, Victoria advanced thanks to a better regular season finish over Motagua. With their success in the semifinals, Olimpia and Victoria re-encountered each other in a final for the third time in history,[10] having won one each in the previous two. The first match in La Ceiba ended with a scoreless tie; but in the second leg, Olimpia had no mercy over Victoria and won its third consecutive title with an overwhelming 4–0.[11]
