On the international stage, Aspe made 109 appearances for Mexico over a fourteen-year period, scoring 21 goals. He represented the national team at the FIFA World Cup in 1994, 1998 and 2002.

In 1995, Aspe had a short-lived loan spell with River Plate in Argentina. He left the club without making a significant impact.
