Club Deportivo Sula is a Honduran football club based on La Lima, Honduras.

History

They were promoted to first division in 1984–85, the next season they bought Juventud Morazanica's franchise and changed their name to Juventud de Sula. In 1986–87 they changed their name back to just Sula and stayed like that until they were relegated in 1990–91.

In 2011, Sula reemerged in Liga de Ascenso (just like Honduras-Progreso), causing happiness amongst old fans in La Lima. They immediately won their first game against Villanueva F.C.[1]

Before the beginning of the professional league, Sula won an amateur title in 1950–51.[2]
