During his time with Arsenal, he appeared on the bench in senior squad's games twice, including a Champions League game against Slavia Prague on 4 November 2025, as a minor injury to Kepa Arrizabalaga opened up a squad spot.

Youth In February 2022, Rojas was called up for a series of Russia U17 games in a tournament in Croatia, but remained on the bench in all of the games. At the end of February, Russia was excluded from international competitive games due to the Russo-Ukrainian war, including junior teams.
On 4 January 2023, Rojas received a call-up from Colombia U20 manager Héctor Cárdenas for the highly anticipated 2023 South American U-20 Championship, held in Colombia. Despite being part of the talented squad that managed to secure a third-place finish, Rojas remained an unused substitute throughout the tournament, with the experienced Luis Marquinez taking the role of first-choice goalkeeper.
