On 17 November 2018, Cardoso made his Portugal U19 debut in an international friendly against Armenia U19. He also helped his side get the final of the 2019 UEFA European Under-19 Championship scoring in Portugal's opening group stage fixture against Italy, and while he played in every minute of the campaign for his side, they eventually lost to Spain in the final.

Cardoso also made five appearances for Portugal U20 in the 2019–20 Under 20 Elite League before it was eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
