In 1997, Honduras participated in the UNCAF Nations Cup held in Guatemala. Some historians wrongly denote a friendly match between Honduras and Chile supposedly being played on 26 January in Santiago with a 3–2 victory for the South Americans; however, such game never took place. The confusion apparently derives from an exhibition game played that day between domestic clubs Universidad Católica and Olimpia in Miami, which ended 3–2 for the Chileans.
