Qiuming Wang

Wang Qiuming came through Tianjin Teda's own academy, joining the club's 1993 age group at 14 and staying in the youth system for six years before his promotion to the first team in 2013. His senior career began there in the same city that raised him, and beyond a brief loan spell at Tianjin Huaruide in 2014 — cut short when the loan club failed to register in China League Two — he stayed with Teda through 2017.

A free transfer took him to Hebei FC in February 2018, and it was there that Wang had his best team achievement: he was part of the squad that pushed Hebei to sixth place in the 2018 Chinese Super League, the club's highest-ever league finish. He remained in Hebei until 2021.

In April 2022, Wang returned to Tianjin, by then renamed Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, again on a free transfer. He has captained the side since that year, succeeding Kadar as skipper.

The international recognition came late by most standards. Wang made his debut for the Chinese national team only in 2023, and scored his first goal for the side against Vietnam on 10 October 2023. That form earned him a place in China's squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar.
