Chou Tai-ying (Chinese: 周台英; born 16 August 1963) is a Taiwanese female association football coach and former player. She is considered the most successful Taiwanese footballer so far.
Domestic Career
She was Chinese Taipei's key player in the 1980s and early 1990s, winning three AFC Women's Championships (1977, 1979, 1981) and two OFC Women's Championships (1986, 1989).
Overseas career
Chou was also one of the few Taiwanese players who have played for foreign professional clubs. In 1987, she joined the German football club SV Bergisch Gladbach 09 and won two championships. She was chosen by the Japanese team Suzuyo Shimizu F.C. Ladies for their inaugural team in the newly formed Japanese L. League in 1989, to add power to the team’s offence, which had been lacking. The Shimizu F.C. Ladies won the first league season title and Chou was the stand out player, scoring 12 goals, making her the Golden Boot winner and member of Best XI.
International career
Chou was the captain of the Chinese Taipei women's national football team at the inaugural 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup. The team reached the quarter-finals before being beaten 7–0 by the eventual winners the United States.
She retired from her playing career after the 1994 Asian Games.
Coaching career
In 2005, Chou took over as the head coach of the Chinese Taipei women's national football team.
