Osmín Hernández Hernández (born 15 July 1972) is a Cuban retired footballer.
Hernández played his entire career for local side Pinar del Río, except for half a season in Germany with Bonner SC,[1] when then Cuban leader Fidel Castro approved for the whole Cuban team to join the German 4th level side for part of the 1998/99 season.[2] He also had a trial with Olympique Marseille along with compatriot Lázaro Darcourt in 1998,[3] only for a Cuban official to prevent them to sign professional terms. Then, he had a season in the Norwegian third tier with Fløy alongside another Cuban, Serguei Prado.[4] [5] Back in Cuba, he was the league's top goalscorer in 1996 and 1997.[6]
One of the leading players of the Cuban team during the 1990s, he made his international debut for Cuba in 1995 and has earned a total of 46 caps, scoring 12 goals.[7] He represented his country in 18 FIFA World Cup qualification matches (1 goal) and was a non-playing squad member at the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[8]
His final international was a June 2004 World Cup qualification match against Costa Rica.
