El Progreso, Honduras

Living in Honduras is not for the faint of heart. Club Deportivo Honduras Progreso, based in the city of El Progreso, won the Honduran Liga Nacional league title in 2015-16 and finished as runners-up in 2016-17. However, the club's recent history is a bit of a roller coaster - it was founded in 1965, relegated in 1969, and then revived in 2011 after years of absence from professional football.

Bureaucracy is a persistent headache in Honduras. Honduras Progreso had to wait until 2013 for their manager Wilmer Cruz to finally earn his coaching license, despite taking over the role the previous year. The city's safety record is also concerning, as Honduras has one of the highest homicide rates in the world.

For the intrepid expat willing to navigate these challenges, El Progreso may offer opportunities. But for the average American seeking a quiet, hassle-free life abroad, this Honduran city is likely not the best fit.
