Club Deportivo Victoria was founded on 15 November 1935 in La Ceiba. The club started out as the
Instituto Manuel Bonilla which later was renamed Club Deportivo Victoria. The club was founded by Jose Felix Sosa Sosa, native of La Ceiba. Throughout his lifetime he received several accolades, and awards for being the rightful founder as in later years he was no longer involved in the club. Due to power struggles with friends of the club he decided to retire early. Later Miguel J. Kawas became president leading Victoria to their league title in the 1994–95 league. In 1995, the club won their first championship in 47 years by defeating Club Deportivo Olimpia in a two-legged final. The club has also had some international success. In 2006, they managed to beat
Deportivo Saprissa of
Costa Rica on their way to finish in fourth place in the
UNCAF tournament. ==Club rivalries==
