Arnold Dwarika (born 23 February 1973 in Upper Santa Cruz, Trinidad) is a retired Trinidadian football player, who played as a midfielder for the Trinidad and Tobago national team. He went to school at Malick Senior Comprehensive in Trinidad.

Career

Most of his career has been spent in his homeland in the TT Pro League but Dwarika has also had stints in Europe with Scottish side East Fife and Asia with Chinese clubs Qingdao Hailifeng and Guangzhou Pharmaceutical.[1]

Dwarika scored two goals in Trinidad and Tobago's 3–2 loss to the United States during the 1996 Gold Cup. He was a regular member of the Trinidad and Tobago senior squad from 1993, and also played in the under-23 Olympic squad of 1996. He was not considered for the national side for some time after 2004, ruling him out of contention for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, but later returned to the team.
