The Honduras Ascenso Division is the second-tier professional soccer league in Honduras. It was established in 1965 and has since played a crucial role in the development of Honduran football. The league consists of 10 teams competing for promotion to the top-flight Liga Nacional. Historically, teams such as Real Sociedad and Real de Minas have been successful in the Ascenso Division, with multiple promotions to the Liga Nacional. An interesting fact about the league is that it has seen several teams from the capital city, Tegucigalpa, and other regions of Honduras compete for a chance to reach the top level of Honduran football.
