Sports Mole brings you team news ahead of the opening Olympic men's football match between Honduras and Morocco.

Honduras coach Luis Suarez has named a starting XI full of homegrown players for their opening match of the 2012 Olympics.

Eight of the 11 players that will line up against Morocco ply their trade in Honduras, with two MLS players and Wigan Athletic's Maynor Figueroa also included.

In contrast, just one of Morocco's starting XI plays in his home country, with various leagues across Europe providing the bulk of the side.

Honduras: Mendoza; Figueroa, Velasquez, Leveron; Peralta, Martinez, Mejia, Lopez, Najar, Espinoza; Bengtson

Morocco: Amsif; Abarhoun, El Kaoutari, Bergdich, Jebbour; Fettouhi, Barrada, Kharja; Labyad, Amrabat, Bidaoui
