He was later selected to represent his country at the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup held in the United States.[1] He played in one match, coming on as a substitute during a 7–2 group stage defeat to Costa Rica on 4 February,[2] before they were eliminated. This was his final senior international appearance, although he was on the Cuban national under-21 team squad that was sent to play at the 1998 Caribbean Cup as preparation for the 1998 Central American and Caribbean Games.[3]
