The Club

Colours and badge

Motagua's traditional colour is dark blue representing the blue waters of the Motagua River. The Motagua River is a 400km long river in Guatemala. ...


The Motagua badge has a blue eagle. This is because one of the desitengrated club that united to become Motagua was Aguila which translates to Eagle.


Stadium

Main article(s): Estadio Tiburcio Carias Andino, Tegucigalpa Estadio Tiburcio Carias Andino is a multi-use stadium in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. ...

Motagua plays their home matches on estadio Tiburcio Carias Andino. The stadium is named after the Honduran president Tiburcio Carias Andino. The stadium is divided into Sol Norte, Sol Sur, Sol Centro, Preferencia, Silla and Palco. The Motaguan supporters "La Revo" are located at Sol Norte and the "Macro Azurra" sit in Sol Centro. Tiburcio Carías Andino was born in 1876 in Tegucigalpa in Honduras, and died in the same city in 1969. ...


Supporters

Motagua has many supportes throughout Honduras. Motagua has two different fan groups one which name is "Los Revolucionarios del Motagua 1928" which they call themselves "La Revo". This fan groups has "bandas" or smaller groups inside La Revo such as (from Tegucigalpa) "Los Fuser", "Los Dementes", "Escuadron 57", "Comando 21", "Los Poltershe", "Irreverentes", "Capone", "Infernales", "Danger's", (from Comayagua) "C26", (from San Pedro Sula) "Los Del Norte", (from Ceiba) "Revo Ceiba", (from Choluteca) "Revo Choluteca".


The other fan group is named "Macro Azurra" which is supported by the club. They can be easily be spotted in the stadium because they generally have always blue ballons. This group is bigger in the northern territory.


The supporters are generally neutral and don't fight with any other supporters unless they are from the UltraFiel of the Olimpia. Recently Marathon's Furia Verde has had some problems with La Revo since in the last match Marathon Motagua at Tegucigalpa some guy started to insult La Revo.


All of the "bandas" hang "mantas" or huge pieces of cloth saying their banda's name inside the stadium. Matches from Motagua against Olimpia it's illegal to hang these mantas because some of the members go to steal them and cause great scandal so police prefer banning this.
