Cardona represented his country at the 2009 South American Under-17 Football Championship in Chile, where he became the top scorer with 7 goals in 7 matches, including a hat-trick in a 3–0 win against Ecuador. In doing so, he tremendously helped his country qualify for the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup due to take place in Nigeria from 24 October – 15 November. Cardona was selected to play for his country in the 2011 Toulon Tournament in France. He scored 3 goals in the Championships including two goals against Ivory Coast and a goal against Mexico in the semi-final.
