Platense Football Club S.A. de C.V. or simply Platense is a Honduran football club, located in Puerto Cortés, Cortés. The club was founded on 4 July 1960.
According to the records available, the following people attended Club Platense: René Paíz, Roger Riera, Roberto Mejía, Roosevelt Garbut, Manuel Flores, Héctor Sánchez, Rolando Méndez, Samuel Williams, Rodolfo Williams, Ricardo Fúnez, Nelson Larios, Julio Linares, Oscar Pineda, Raúl Betancourt, Armando López “Babalaba” Bodden, Francisco Maldonado, Humberto Dole, Rolando Zavala and Reginaldo Guevara, with the best goals in their individual seasons.
In the first meetings of Club Platense, the names of vaious international soccer clubs were included among the choices, from which the official name of the team was taken. Among the choices available were: Leyland, Banfield, Magallanes, and Platense of Argentina; the last was the most liked among the founder members of the Club.
In its beginnings, this team had the fortune to have the support of the Tela Railroad Company. The members of Club Platense were, for the most part, hired by this company while they participated with the club. This benefited them a great deal, because in addition to their salary with Tela Railroad Co., where they received a special treatment for being soccer stars, they also received a salary from the ticket sales, as part of their contracts. That motivated these players to give 100% in training as well as in the official games.

In 2012, C.D. Platense was relegated and C.D. Necaxa was purchased and renamed Platense F.C.
After having obtained the first championship of National League, Club Deportivo Platense had to wait 36 years until 2000-2001 for its second. The new format of short tournaments (opening – closure) with semifinals allowed Platense to compete for the championship, even though it finished second in the final standings. The title was to be fought in a series of two games against the most popular team of the country, Club Deportivo Olimpia. The first game was in Puerto Cortés and finished with a victory for the ‘Tiburón’ by the score of 1-0 with the goal netted by the Argentine Marcelo Verón. The return game was won by Club Olimpia by the same score. This forced the teams to go to over-time. The champion would be the team that scored the first goal (Golden goal). Then with a goal by Rony Morales, Club Platense conquered its second championship of the National League.
