**Arnold Dwarika** (born 23 August 1973 in Upper Santa Cruz, [Trinidad](/source/Trinidad)) is a retired Trinidadian [football](/source/Association_football) player, who played as a [midfielder](/source/Midfielder) for the [Trinidad and Tobago national team](/source/Trinidad_and_Tobago_national_football_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](/source/TT_Pro_League) but Dwarika has also had stints in Europe with Scottish side [East Fife](/source/East_Fife_F.C.) and Asia with Chinese clubs [Qingdao Hailifeng](/source/Qingdao_Hailifeng_F.C.) and [Guangzhou Pharmaceutical](/source/Guangzhou_Evergrande_Taobao_F.C.).[1]

Dwarika scored two goals in [Trinidad and Tobago](/source/Trinidad_and_Tobago_national_football_team)'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](/source/2006_FIFA_World_Cup), but later returned to the team.
