Wang Shenchao (Chinese: 王燊超; pinyin: Wáng Shēnchāo; born 8 February 1989) is a Chinese footballer who currently plays as a defender for Shanghai Port in the Chinese Super League and the China national team.

Club career[edit]

Wang Shenchao started his football career when he joined the Genbao Football Academy in 2000 and was promoted to Shanghai SIPG's (later to be renamed as Shanghai Port) first team for the 2006 season. He became a regular for the club as Shanghai won promotion to the second tier in the 2007 season. He became the club's captain after Wang Jiayu transferred to Nanchang Hengyuan in January 2011. Wang was linked with a move to Shanghai Shenxin after the 2011 season but decided to stay at the club.[1] He appeared in 29 league matches and scored three goals in the 2012 season as Shanghai clinched the second tier league title and was subsequently promoted to the top flight.

Wang would establish himself as a vital member of the team throughout the 2013 Chinese Super League campaign as the club finished in ninth while also gaining significant investment from Shanghai International Port.[2] He would go on to be an integral member of the team that would come runners-up within the 2015 Chinese Super League and qualification for the AFC Champions League for the first time in the clubs history.[3] He would go on to be a consistent presence within the team as he won the 2018 Chinese Super League title with the club.[4]

International career[edit]

Wang made his debut for the Chinese national team on 7 June 2017 in an 8-1 win against the Philippines. On 26 May 2018, he was caught on camera taking out a necklace from his sock and wearing it during an international friendly against Myanmar.[5] On 12 June 2018, he received a one-year ban from the national team.[6]
