Wang Shuang (born 23 January 1995) is a Chinese soccer player, currently playing as a striker for WK-League team Chungbuk Sportstoto. She has also represented China on three occasions, including at the 2013 EAFF Women's East Asian Cup.
Wang began her career at the Beijing Sangao academy, before representing her hometown of Wuhan at senior level. In 2013, she joined Korean side Chungbuk Sportstoto and reached the final of the Korean FA Cup in her first season at the club, finishing the tournament as MVP.[1]
In 2013, she was nominated for the title of AFC Youth Player of the Year for her performances in scoring five goals at the 2013 AFC U-19 Women's Championship.[2]
Club career
While preparing for the 2013 National Games with provincial side Hubei, Wang was spotted by coaches of WK-League side Chungbuk Sportstoto. On 3 July 2013, it was announced that she had signed a contract with the club and would join after the coming EAFF East Asian Cup tournament.[3]
In her first half season with the club, Wang helped Sportstoto to the final of the Korean FA Cup and was awarded the Player of the Tournament prize for her efforts. Her initial progress, though, was soon halted due to commitments at the National Games and with the Chinese national side.
In December 2013, she signed a new one-year contract with the Korean club and has since been joined by international colleague, defender Wu Haiyan.
International career
From an early age, Wang was identified as one of the leading talents in Chinese women's football, representing the country's Under-16 side at the age of 12, before going on to play at Under-19 level aged 15. [4]
In 2012, then 17, she was included as part of the Chinese squad for the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. She was one of just two players born in 1995 selected by coach Yin Tiesheng, making one substitute appearance in a 4-0 defeat to Germany.
Wang was called to the senior Chinese national side for the first time at the beginning of 2013, making her debut on 13 January against Canada. Post-match, despite only playing 20 minutes, coach Hao Wei described the then 17-year-old as being a player "of great potential". [5]
On 21 July 2013, she made her full international debut as China took on Japan at the EAFF East Asian Cup in a game that ended in a 2-0 defeat. After 49 minutes, she was replaced by teammate Zhou Feifei.[6]
At the 2013 AFC Women's Under-19 Championship, Wang would cement her place as one of Asia's most promising young players with five goals in the tournament as China claimed third place. Her tally was enough to end as the tournament's second top-scorer behind only South Korea's Jang Selgi.
In 2014, she continued her run of call ups to the national side with selection for the Yongchuan Invitational tournament in February.[7]
Personal life
Wang's cousin Cao Guodong plays professional football as a defensive midfielder for China League One side Hunan Billows.
