Nicaragua will be chasing history on Tuesday as they aim to snap a six-decade winless drought against Honduras when the two nations collide in matchday two of World Cup 2026 qualifying at Estadio Nacional Chelato Uclés.
Both sides got their campaigns underway in Group C with hard-fought draws. Nicaragua showed grit and resilience, holding Costa Rica to a 1-1 stalemate despite being reduced to ten men for more than half an hour against a team that’s become a World Cup regular.
Honduras, meanwhile, were left frustrated after a cagey 0-0 draw with Haiti at the neutral ground of Willemstad in Curaçao.

Honduras team news
Friday's match gave Honduras a glimpse of the future, with Alenis Vargas making his senior debut off the bench in place of Romell Quioto, while veteran Andy Najar celebrated his 60th cap. Keeper Edrick Menjívar stood tall between the posts, making seven saves to preserve the clean sheet, and David Ruiz returned to the fold after nearly a year away, slotting in late for Jorge Álvarez.
Nicaragua team news
For Nicaragua, discipline will be key, as they'll be without Jason Coronel following his sending-off against Costa Rica. On a brighter note, captain Juan Barrera is on the verge of a historic milestone, one cap away from becoming just the second player in his country’s history to reach 100 appearances.
Meanwhile, Byron Bonilla delivered the decisive moment on opening day, slotting home an 81st-minute penalty that secured a precious point and lifted him into seventh on Nicaragua's all-time scoring charts with 41 goals.
