- This is a Chinese name; the family name is Li.
Li Haiqiang (simplified Chinese: 李海强; traditional Chinese: 李海強) is a Hong Kong football player, playing in Hong Kong First Division League club South China where he is currently the captain of the team. Li plays the role as a midfielder and he is nicknamed "The Golden Left Foot" because of his brilliant free kick skill. In 1999, Li was selected in Chinese National Team, but he has not played in any match. He joined the team in 2006. He was appointed to be the captain at the later half of the season when the team captain Au Wai Lun served as a reserve player for most matches.
He was awarded the Hong Kong Footballer of the Year for the 2006-07 season. It was his debut season in Hong Kong First Division League and he was the first Mainland player to receive this award in its 30-year history.
On Tuesday 24 July 2007, he played an integral part of South China's Barclays Asia Trophy 2007 tournament when he scored a fantastic free-kick from approximately 40-yards out against Liverpool. The goal embarrassed Liverpool goalkeeper Scott Carson and recalled memories of Ronaldinho's World Cup 2002 goal against England. South China eventually lost the game by 3-1.
In the 2007-08 season, Li scored 4 goals, and all of them were from free kicks.
