The 2023–24 season was F.C. Motagua's 77th season in existence and the club's 58th consecutive season in the top fight of Honduran football. In addition to the domestic league, the club also competed in the 2023 CONCACAF Central American Cup.
Overview
[edit]The club tried to improve their 2022–23 season where they finished title-less. On 5 September, manager Ninrrol Medina was sacked due to poor results and was replaced by Argentinian coach César Vigevani,[1] who was shortly replaced by Diego Vásquez on 26 November due to the same reason.[2] On 3 May, Rubilio Castillo scored his 100th league goal for the club becoming the first ever player to reach that figure.[3]
Kits
[edit]The 2023–24 home, away and third kits were published on 27 July.
