Apertura

During the preseason, several members of the team were poisoning presenting stomach pain and four of them were interned in a clinic. Iván Guerrero, Johnny Leverón, Romel Murillo and Carlos Padilla, were the players that were taken to the hospital due to severe dehydration. The rest of the team took a medical evaluation at the headquarters of the club. Following this incident, the coach Juan de Dios Castillo has suspended training for a couple of days.[2]

Clausura

The 2009–10 Clausura season for C.D. Motagua was somewhat bittersweet, they manage to finish on first position in the Regular season, an honor not accomplished since December 2001; they overcame in Semifinals beating C.D. Platense with difficulties; however lost in the Final against Club Deportivo Olimpia in spite of having shown great football.
