Club Deportivo Lobos de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional Francisco Morazán, more commonly known as Universidad Pedagógica or Lobos UPNFM is a Honduran football club, based in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
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. Coincidentally, that 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 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.Liga de Ascenso: “Endiablado” debut de Jaguares de la UPNFM – La Tribuna
