Club career

[edit]

Dalian Yifang

[edit]

He Yupeng previously played for the Dalian Yifang U19 team and also represented the China U20 team.[1] He would be promoted to the Dalian Yifang's (now known as Dalian Professional) first team squad in the 2019 Chinese Super League campaign as an under 23 years old player.[2] He made his debut on 7 April 2019 against Tianjin TEDA as part of the Chinese Super League rules requesting every team to field at least one player under 23 years old within the starting lineup, but was substituted off after just 18 minutes, in a match that ended in a 2-1 defeat.[3] While initially only being used to fulfil a quota, he would start to actually establish himself within the team and went on to score his first league goal in an away game against Shenzhen FC on 19 May 2019, as a late substitute that came on the 90th minute to score the winning goal a minute later, and had to be substitued off again to allow another U-23 teammate to come on.[4]

Beijing Guoan

[edit]

On 14 February 2024, He joined fellow Chinese Super League club Beijing Guoan alongside teammate Lin Liangming on a free transfer, following the relegation and subsequent disbandment of Dalian Pro. [5] On 2 March 2024, he made his debut for Guoan in a 2-0 away win against Cangzhou Mighty Lions. [6] On 26 May 2024, he scored his first goal for the club in a 5-2 home win against Nantong Zhiyun. [7]

International career

[edit]

On 20 July 2022, He made his international debut in a 3–0 defeat against South Korea in the 2022 EAFF E-1 Football Championship, as the Chinese FA decided to field the U-23 national team for this senior competition. [8]
