Jiang Jin (Chinese: 江津; pinyin: Jiāng Jīn; born October 17, 1968 in Tianjin) is a former Chinese international football goalkeeper who was predominantly known for being the first-choice goalkeeper for China during the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Along with his older brother Jiang Hong he also became a goalkeeper and started his career playing for Bayi Football Team before moving to Tianjin Teda, Shanghai International and Shanghai Stars. After a short stint as an assistant coach for Shanghai Stars he moved away from football until October 17, 2010 saw him detained by the police for his involvement in fixing a league game against Tianjin Teda F.C. on November 30, 2003 and was sentenced to five and a half years imprisonment on June 13, 2012.
Jiang Jin began his football career playing for Bayi Football Team during the 1987 league season and gradually established himself within their team. During his time with Bayi he saw them become a fully run professional football team and despite seeing them finding it difficult to transition to professionalism Jiang was a steady constant within the team. By the 1996 league season his consistency started to pay off when he aided Bayi to third within the league, which led to an eventual call-up to the national team. While his international career grew from strength to strength Bayi struggled within the league until they were relegated at the end of the end of the 1998 league season. Jiang stayed for a short period before joining Tianjin Teda where he remained for three seasons before joining highly ambitious side Shanghai International in the 2003 league season in a season that saw his side just miss out on the league title. The next season saw him only make sixteen league appearances and drop from being the first choice goalkeeper. This led to Jiang joining second-tier side Shanghai Stars where he was offered an assistant post as well before he retired in 2007.
