A group-stage exit in 2010 had been a sobering lesson. Honduras returned in 2014 with renewed purpose. Under Luis Fernando Suárez, they were ready to write the next chapter.

It was a tournament to forget for Honduras, who left without a single victory to their name. Goals proved hard to come by, with just 1 in 3 matches, and their lack of firepower ultimately told.
Honduras found the group stage unforgiving, unable to pick up a single victory against their opponents. Their campaign featured a heavy 0-3 defeat to France, a narrow 1-2 loss to Ecuador, and a heavy 0-3 defeat to Switzerland. The World Cup dream ended earlier than hoped, with Honduras bowing out in the first round.

The tactical mind behind Honduras's 2014 campaign. Managed 2 nations at World Cups winless under Suárez.
The team relied on long balls and counterattacks but struggled to create scoring opportunities. Honduras was heavily reliant on goalkeeper Lozano's defensive skills.
