Comayagua Fútbol Club (Spanish pronunciation: [komaˈʝaɣwa]) is a Honduran football club, based in Comayagua.
The club was founded in 1945 as Hispano Galvez, eventually dropping "Galvez". The Hispano club played from 2005 to 2011 in the Honduran first division, and was dissolved in 2012 due to unsustainable financial circumstances. Management then purchased the second division franchise of Atlético Pinares and rebranded it as Comayagua FC.
Hispano was founded on 3 July 1945 by Miguel Bulnes, Tafael Ruiz and Manuel Bulnes in a small barrio named Abajo located in Comayagua. The club was originally named Hispano Galvez in honor of Juan Manuel Galvez, the Honduran president at that time. The club changed their named to Hispano when Galvez's presidency was over.
In 1950, Hispano won a championship when they were part of an independent league in the north coast of Honduras. Their greatest achievement came on July 5, 2005 when they earn a promotion to the top division by beating Deportes Savio in the final.
The club was promoted to the top division in 2004–05 but was later relegated in the 2005–06 season after finishing in last place.
That same year, Hispano bought Valencia's category in the league for 3 million lempiras. Most of Valencia's members like Luis Rodas, Kerpo de Leon, Gilberto Santos, Tushe, Marco Mejia, Henry Jimenez, Johny Galdamez, Gerson Amaral, Rigoberto Padilla and Roy Posas became players for Hispano.
