From wooden frames to Stephen Chow films

The name Zhao Lina is no stranger to Asian women's football. She spent her entire career with Shanghai RCB and played for the national team from 2015 to 2023.

In 2023, Le Na announced her retirement at the age of 32. After 38 appearances for the national team, the goalkeeper's most notable achievements were winning the Asian Championship in 2022 and a silver medal at the 2018 Asian Games (Asiad).

Throughout her football career, Zhao Lina attracted attention not only for her talent, but also for her charming appearance and colorful lifestyle.

She has a particular passion for rock music and playing drums. This passion was sparked by the Japanese anime "Nana". In her free time, Le Na joins a band.

Besides music , Le Na also enjoys writing, playing video games, and participating in various social activities. She has previously raised funds for projects developing children's football in remote areas of China.

Lệ Na's dynamic lifestyle and beautiful appearance have made her a sought-after figure in the Chinese entertainment industry throughout her career.

She was frequently invited to work as a model, and began participating in entertainment programs after retiring from acting.

Most recently, Zhao Lina was invited by director Stephen Chow to participate in a sports- themed film titled "Women's Soccer Team" (this is just the temporary title). The film is currently being filmed in Guangdong Province, China.

Outstanding appearance

Born and raised in Shanghai, Zhao Lina possesses an exceptional height of 1.88 meters. This is considered one of the most inexplicable "mysteries" in Chinese football.

Generally, Chinese people who grew up in the North tend to be taller. This is why Chinese national football, basketball, and volleyball teams often recruit athletes from the North.

In contrast, Le Na grew up in Jiangnan, a region known for its picturesque scenery and developed economy and culture, but not particularly outstanding in sports.

Le Na once shared that her impressive height might come from playing sports from a very young age, specifically basketball.

Le Na played basketball and soccer throughout her elementary school years, with a good awareness of nutrition to promote height growth. It wasn't until high school that she decided to pursue a career as a soccer goalkeeper.
