The club currently plays in the Honduran Liga Nacional.

==History== The club was founded on August 10, 2010, as a sports club for the university. By coincidence, that very same year a place opened up in the Liga Nacional de Ascenso. Until that year, major Honduran teams had fielded affiliates that competed in the Liga de Ascenso. A reform in the league structure forced the withdrawal of those teams, and allowed UPNFM to move right into the spot. The club's roster was drawn from students at the university; here too, however, the withdrawal of the affiliated clubs worked in their favor. UPNFM was an attractive loan partner for reserve players at Olimpia and Motagua because they could pursue a university degree while playing.<ref>[http://www.latribuna.hn/2013/02/09/liga-de-ascenso-endiablado-debut-de-jaguares-de-la-upnfm/ Liga de Ascenso: “Endiablado” debut de Jaguares de la UPNFM] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130210213814/http://www.latribuna.hn/2013/02/09/liga-de-ascenso-endiablado-debut-de-jaguares-de-la-upnfm/ |date=2013-02-10 }} – La Tribuna {{in lang|es}}</ref>
