Chinese association football player
Dai Wai Tsun (Chinese: 戴偉浚; Jyutping: Daai3 Wai5 Zeon3; Cantonese Yale: Daai Wáihjeun, born 25 July 1999), also spelled in Mandarin as Dai Weijun (Chinese: 戴伟浚; pinyin: Dài Wěijùn), is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Chinese Super League club Shenzhen Peng City. Born in Hong Kong, he represents the China national team.
Early life
Dai was born in Hong Kong and was inspired to play football by his father who once played for Hong Kong's youth teams. He started playing the sport at the young age of 4, joining Eastern's youth system for a chance to become an international footballer. Dai later joined the Hong Kong Barcelona Football academy and trained with players born in 2000.
At first, he played in a defensive midfield position and was placed under the spotlight, and was often the captain as he showed his leadership skills on the pitch. He has participated in youth matches with Hong Kong Barcelona Football Academy in Spain and Poland, and his father's support was a major factor of his youth success compared with his peers. He moved to England for a chance to get training of a higher quality, and joined the Reading youth team and enrolled in Hall Grove School and then Bradfield College.
He was also called up multiple times to the Hong Kong youth squads while in England, and played in multiple international youth competitions.
Career
Bury
After leaving Reading, he was invited by Bury for a trial and joined the Bury youth system under the name Tsun Dai.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as chinese association football player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q30950055. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1999 and 2000.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
