International Career
For Spain, Kiko was capped 26 times, scoring five goals. His debut came on 16 December 1992 in a 1994 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Latvia (90 minutes played).
Kiko would take part at UEFA Euro 1996 and the 1998 World Cup. He scored two goals against Bulgaria in the latter tournament; however, these did not count for anything as Spain were ultimately ousted in the group stage, despite a 6–1 thrashing.
Previously, Kiko represented the nation at the 1992 Summer Olympics, in Barcelona. He scored a last-minute winner against Poland in the final, a 3–2 victory, his second of the game.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
