He qualified with Honduras for the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa. At the finals, in which Honduras were eliminated in the preliminary round, he played the games against Chile and Spain. On May 8, 2014, he was appointed to the squad for the 2014 World Cup by coach Luis Fernando Suárez . He was used in two games, but retired with his team after the group stage.
