## Playing career

Wang Dongning started his football career with the [Shandong](/source/Shandong_Taishan_F.C.) youth team before graduating into their senior team in 1982 where he helped guide the club to a runners-up spot at the end of the league season.[1] He was soon called up to the [Chinese national team](/source/China_national_football_team) and was part of the squad that took part in the [1984 Asian Cup](/source/1984_Asian_Cup) where China were beaten in the final to [Saudi Arabia](/source/Saudi_Arabia_national_football_team).[2] For the next several years he was a loyal player to Shandong, however he was part of the team that saw successive relegation hit the team in 1989 and the 1990 league seasons.[3] Despite this Wang stayed to help the club win promotion back into the second tier before he decided to leave the club and join [Hong Kong First Division League](/source/Hong_Kong_First_Division_League) team [Happy Valley](/source/Happy_Valley_AA). His stay in Hong Kong was brief and Wang moved back to his old club Shandong in 1994 after they had renamed themselves [Shandong Taishan](/source/Shandong_Taishan_F.C.) and had returned to the top tier to become a fully professional team.[4] With his return he was also able to gain his way back into the national team and was part of the team that went to the [Football at the 1994 Asian Games](/source/Football_at_the_1994_Asian_Games) and helped guide China to a runners-up spot to [Uzbekistan](/source/Uzbekistan_national_football_team).[5] Nearing the end of his career Wang joined second-tier football club [Shenzhen FC](/source/Shenzhen_Ruby_F.C.) 1995 for a season, where he actually won the division title with them before leaving to join another second-tier club in [Shanghai Yuyuan](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shanghai_Yuyuan&action=edit&redlink=1) before ending his career with [Qingdao Hainiu](/source/Qingdao_Hainiu_F.C.).[6]
