What does a 'cap' mean in soccer?

Answer

To make an international appearance for your country, usually in a representative game. Some "friendly" games also count.


It stems from the old days when the players were issued commemorative "caps" for the game, the term has simply continued though the actual caps are no longer provided to the players.
