Motagua New Orleans is an American soccer club based in New Orleans, Louisiana that plays in the Gulf Coast Premier League. The team was founded in 1984 and competes in both the ISLANO and Louisiana Premier League.
Motagua New Orleans was founded in 1984 by a collaboration of three family of brothers, the Serrano, Martinez and Diaz brothers. The team was managed by the Serrano brothers from 1984-1999 where they competed in the ISLANO and SELASA leagues in New Orleans. In 1999 current team manager and part owner, Mario "Tony" Martinez, gained rights as the sole owner of the team.
In 2010, Dr. John Hamide acquired part ownership of the team and formed an alliance between PDL team, Baton Rouge Capitals, which he also owned, and Motagua. Motagua New Orleans provided year-round high-level competition that allowed local Baton Rouge Capital players to stay fit for the PDL season.
In the most recent years Motagua has enjoyed success competing at both a regional and national level. They won the 2015 USASA Region III National Cup [1] which qualified them for the 2015 USASA National Cup where they lost 1-0 to RWB Adria in the semifinals. [2]
