Li Xuepeng (Chinese:李学鹏;pinyin:Lǐ Xuépéng; born 18 September 1988) is aChinese footballer who plays as aleft back forChina League Two clubWenzhou FC.
Li Xuepeng started his football career when he was promoted toDalian Shide's first team in the 2007 season. He made his debut for the club on 9 August 2007 in a 2–1 win againstQingdao Jonoon.[2] Li scored his first goal for the club on 4 November 2007 in a 1–1 draw againstHangzhou Greentown.[3] This led to a loan toFirst Division League sideCitizen during the end of the 2007 season, making his debut for the club 2 December 2007 in a 3–0 loss againstHappy Valley.[4] Li would return to Dalian at the start of the 2008 season and play a significantly larger role at Dalian in a very disappointing season which saw the club flirt with relegation.[5] At the start of the 2009 season, he would become a vital member of the squad due to his versatility to play in either the midfield or the defense, aiding Dalian to a midtable finish. Li lost his starting role for the club in the 2012 season and only played in three matches the entire season. In January 2013, Li transferred toDalian Aerbin after Dalian Shide dissolved in the offseason.
On 10 June 2014, Li transferred to fellowChinese Super League sideGuangzhou Evergrande along with his teammateYu Hanchao.[6] He made his debut for the club on 27 July 2014 in a 1–0 win againstHenan Jianye, coming on as a substitute forLiu Jian in the 70th minute.[7] He was excluded from Guangzhou's squad after 23 June 2016 when managerLuiz Felipe Scolari stated that he would never use Li again during a press conference.[8] This led to speculation that Li was looking for a transfer away from Guangzhou by the Chinese media.[9] After several weeks, Li made his return to the first team on 9 August 2016 in a 0–0 draw againstBeijing Guoan after reconciliation with Scolari.[10]
On 28 December 2024, Li held the retirement game with his former teammatesFeng Xiaoting andRong Hao inShandongLinyi Olympic Park.[11]
In March 2025, Li was back to professional football by joining aChina League Two clubWenzhou FC.[12]
Li made his debut for theChinese national team on 4 June 2010 in a 1–0 win againstFrance, coming on as a substitute forDu Wei.[13] He would then be called up to the squad that participated in the2011 AFC Asian Cup where he played in a 2–2 draw againstUzbekistan.[14]
Li Xuepeng is the son of former Chinese footballer Li Xicai.[15]
