He has earned a total of 53 caps, scoring no goals. He has represented his country in 19 FIFA World Cup qualification matches[4] and Medina appeared in all six matches when Honduras took third place at the 2001 Copa América, converting a penalty during the shootout in the third-place victory over Uruguay. He also played fourteen times in the qualifying phase as Honduras narrowly missed out on the 2002 FIFA World Cup and played at the 1997[5] and 1999,[6] as well as at the 2000[7] and 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cups.[8]
