Career
While preparing for the 2013 National Games with provincial side Hubei, Wang Shuang was spotted by scouts of WK-League side Daejeon Sportstoto. On 3 July 2013, it was announced that she had signed a contract with the club and would join after the 2013 EAFF Women"s East Asian Cup. Her initial progress was soon halted due to her commitments with the National Games and the Chinese women"s national team
In December 2013, she signed a new one-year contract with the club and was joined by international teammate Wu Haiyan.
In 2015, she returned to Wuhan Ladies to prepare for the 2015 Fédération internationale de football association Women"s World Cup. On 31 December 2015, Wang was confirmed to have joined Chinese Women"s Super League side Dalian Quanjian on a two-year loan despite interest from big English clubs at the insistence of national team coach Bruno Bini.
From an early age, Wang was identified as one of the leading young talents in Chinese women"s football, representing the under-17 national team at the age of 12. In 2012, then 17 years old, she was included in the under-20 national team for the 2012 Fédération internationale de football association U-20 Women"s World Cup.
Wang was called up to the Chinese women"s national team for the first time in early 2013, making her debut on 13 January 2013 against Canada.
After the match, manager Hao Wei described the then 17-year-old as a player "of great potential" despite her only playing 20 minutes. On 21 July 2013, she made her full international debut in a 2-0 loss against Japan at the 2013 EAFF Women"s East Asian Cup. At the 2013 AFC U-19 Women"s Championship, Wang would cement her place as one of Asia"s most promising young players with five goals in five games as China claimed third place.
Her tally was enough to end as the tournament"s second top goalscorer.
Wang continued her good form enough to then be called up to China"s squad for the 2015 Fédération internationale de football association Women"s World Cup but was used largely as a substitute at the event after a small training injury on the eve of the tournament. She was then selected for the 2015 Fédération internationale de football association Women"s World Cup in her home city of Wuhan.
The end of 2015 was productive for Wang, starting 10 consecutive international games to end the year.
