Platense never played in the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League, but it is no stranger to CONCACAF club competitions. The Tiburon competed in a pair of CONCACAF Champions Cups (1975, 1998) and one CONCACAF Cup Winners’ Cup (1997).
It has captured two Honduran league titles (1965/66, 2001 Clausura). In the 2016 Apertura, Platense was runner-up to Motagua, its best finish since the 202 Apertura.
