Piao Cheng (Chinese: 朴成; pinyin: Piáo Chéng; Hangul: 박성; born 21 August 1989 in Longjing, Yanbian) is a Chinese footballer of Korean descent who currently plays for Beijing Guoan in the Chinese Super League.

Club career

Piao Cheng started his football career with second tier side Yanbian FC and was promoted to their first team in 2007 where he would soon score his first goal for them on 18 August 2007 in a 2-1 win against Shanghai Stars and scored the winning goal which was his first for the club.[1] He would then establish himself as a regular within the squad and soon received a call-up to the Chinese under-20 national team's squad in July 2008. He then started to attract the interests of top tier Chinese sides.[2] On 25 February 2011, Piao completed a ¥3 million move to Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan after impressing many at Yanbian.[3]

International career

Piao would be called up to the Chinese under-20 national team that took part in the 2008 AFC U-19 Championship. Throughout the tournament, he would play in three games and scored one goal as China were knocked out in the quarter-finals on 8 November 2008 by Uzbekistan in a penalty shootout.[4] Piao made his debut for the Chinese national team on 31 March 2015 in a 1-1 win against Tunisia.
