Fu Bin (Chinese: 符宾; Chinese: 符賓; pinyin: Fú Bīn; born May 6, 1969 in Beijing) is a Chinese football goalkeeping coach and a former international football player. His playing career would see him be predominantly remembered for his time at Beijing Guoan and Chongqing Lifan where he won several Chinese FA Cup titles before moving to Chengdu Blades where he achieved the distinction for being the oldest professional player in Chinese history aged 40 years and 133 days before he retired.
While Fu Bin may have been born in Beijing he would move to Hebei to start his sporting career where he originally excelled in basketball before turning his attentions to football where he was good enough to gain a spot within the Hebei team as one of their goalkeepers in 1986. He would stay with Hebei for several seasons until the 1994 league season when the league became fully professional and he was offered a transfer to Jilin Samsung. The move turned out to be a disappointment and he spent most of the season sitting on the bench, however the following season he was offered a move back to his hometown with Beijing Guoan in a moved that turned out to be a huge success and ushered in the peak of his career when he helped the team to win the 1996 and 1997 Chinese FA Cup as well as also achieving his first call up to the Chinese national football team.
