Li Hailong (Chinese: 李海龙; pinyin: Lǐ Hǎilóng; born 2 August 1996) is a Chinese professional footballer who plays as a defender for Qingdao Hainiu in the Chinese Super League.
Li Hailong was sent to Portugal for further training by Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng (now renamed Shandong Taishan) in 2014. He joined Campeonato de Portugal side Sacavenense in the summer of 2014 and played in both senior team and U-19 team. On 12 February 2015, he made his senior debut in a 3–1 home win against Pinhalnovense.[citation needed] Li moved to another Campeonato de Portugal club Torreense in January 2016. He made his debut for Torreense on 21 February 2016 in a 0–0 draw against Eléctrico, coming on as a substitute for Yang Ailong in the 65th minute.[citation needed]
Li returned to Shandong Luneng and was promoted to the first team squad by Felix Magath in July 2016.[1] On 24 July 2016, he made his debut for Shandong in a 1–0 home defeat against Shanghai Shenhua, coming on for Qi Tianyu in the 62nd minute.[2] He would be used as a consistent squad player within the team and would gain his first league title with the club when he was part of the team that won the 2021 Chinese Super League title.[3] This would be followed up by him winning the 2022 Chinese FA Cup with them the next season.[4]
