Following recent international fixtures, Yan Junling has reached 62 appearances for China, becoming the most-capped goalkeeper in national team history.

With upcoming Asian Cup and World Cup qualifiers ahead, he is on track to become the first goalkeeper of his generation to reach 100 caps.


Early years: waiting in the shadows

Yan was first called up under Alain Perrin, but remained a third-choice option behind Wang Dalei.

Under Gao Hongbo, multiple goalkeepers were rotated, yet Yan still struggled for opportunities.


Breakthrough under Lippi

His turning point came during Marcello Lippi’s second tenure, when he was promoted to first-choice goalkeeper and delivered consistent performances.


Competition and resilience

He later lost his starting role under Branko Ivanković, but has since regained it under Shao Jiayi.


Outlook

Yan’s journey reflects persistence and professionalism. If he maintains form, the 100-cap milestone is well within reach.
