[edit] Club career

An Qi was one of the most promising young goalkeepers within China and would rise to prominence during his time for Dalian Shide and established himself as their first choice goalkeeper within the 2002 league season, in time to also be called up to the Chinese football team.[1] After four seasons with Dalian Shide the club brought in Vladimir Petrović as their new manager and he would drop An Qi as the first choice goalkeeper. An Qi would go on loan to lower league side Dalian Changbo to help revive his career and it would work when top tier side Xiamen Lanshi decided to make him on as their first choice goalkeeper. After two seasons with the team the club would be relegated from the Chinese Super League and decide to disband in a disappointing 2007 season. Without a club An Qi would move to reigning league champions Changchun Yatai where he played understudy to Zong Lei, however before he could challenge for the goalkeeper position he suffered a knee ligament break where he would decide to go to Belgium to receive surgery and causing him to miss the entire 2008 league season. An Qi would finally make his debut for Changchun Yatai in a league game against Shenzhen Asia Travel F.C. on September 12, 2009 in a 4-0 defeat.[2]

[edit] International career

An was also on the Chinese youth squad that played during the 2001 World Youth Cup and was the starting goalkeeper for the team. He was also included in the Chinese national squad that played during the 2002 FIFA World Cup.[1] His poor performance recently has seen him falling out of favor with the national team.

[edit] Off-the-field controversies

On August 14, 2005 An Qi was arrested in suspicion of rape after a night out drinking with his teammates. A woman accused him of rape at his hotel after the police responded to an alarm. After several hours of questioning the police released An Qi after there was a lack of evidence.[3]
