Christina has played for Jong Holland of the Curaçao League, the top football league in Curaçao, since 2011.[1] In 2012, Christina was given a 10-day trial with Zwolle of the Eredivisie, the highest level of football in the Netherlands.[2]
In December 2013, it was announced that Christina was one of 23 top young Caribbean prospects to be invited to the inaugural MLS Caribbean Combine, a joint venture between Major League Soccer and the Caribbean Football Union with the objective of providing the young players with an opportunity to play in front of MLS scouts.[3] Following the 3-day event, Christina was one of only two players selected to participate in the MLS Combine from 10-14 of January in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, along with Stefano Rijssel of Suriname.[4]
Christina represented Curaçao at various youth levels including Under-17 and Under-20,[5] including as part of the Under-20 squad that competed in the 2013 CONCACAF U-20 Championship in Mexico with hopes of qualifying for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey.[6] In November 2013, it was announced that Christina was named to the roster for the senior squad as they prepared for the 2012 ABCS Tournament, an annual tournament between the Dutch-speaking countries of the Caribbean. He made his senior debut on 13 July 2012 in a match against Aruba in the tournament.[7] Christina was named to the squad again for the 2013 edition of the tournament.[8]
