Home shirt as worn at the Copa América when Honduras were invited into the tournament last minute, as Argentina dropped out one day before the start. With concerns about the security measures in the host country of Colombia, the tournament was cancelled and reinstated, but the Argentine national team withdrew due to alleged threats from Colombian terrorist groups. Honduras took up the invitation, and despite the odds, Los Catrachos progressed into the quarter-finals, where they defeated Brazil 2–0. Making it to the semi-finals, they would be knocked out by Colombia 2–0, a remarkable finish despite having barely enough players and arriving at the last minute.
