Li Ying (Chinese: 李影; pinyin: Lǐ Yǐng; born 7 January 1993) is a Chinese footballer who plays for Shandong Sports Lottery W.F.C in the Chinese Women's Super League. Considered a star of the sport in China,[2][3] she plays as a forward.[4]
On June 22, 2021, she announced on Chinese microblogging platform Sina Weibo her engagement to girlfriend Chen Leilei. This made Li the first Chinese sports player to officially come out as a lesbian.[5] Her Weibo post went viral before it was deleted, with some speculating that Li might have been put under pressure from authorities following the announcement.[6]
After coming-out, she was selected for the Chinese team in the Women’s Asian Cup in India of 2022,[3][7] appearing as a substitute in the first match of the tournament, a 4-0 victory against Chinese Taipei.[8]
