1977–78 Honduran Liga Nacional
The 1977–78 Honduran Liga Nacional season was the 12th edition of the Honduran Liga Nacional. The format of the tournament consisted of a three round-robin schedule followed by a 5-team playoff round. Club Deportivo Olimpia won the title after defeating Real C.D. España in the finals.[1] It's unclear why no Honduran representation was sent to the 1978 CONCACAF Champions' Cup.
