Gao Tianyi (; born 1 July 1998) is a Chinese professional footballer who plays for Chinese football club Shanghai Shenhua and China national team.

Club career

Gao Tianyi started his professional career with China League One side Shenzhen in 2016.[1] On 13 February 2017, Gao transferred to Super League side Jiangsu Suning.[2] On 1 March 2017, Gao made his debut for Jiangsu Suning in the 2017 AFC Champions League against Adelaide United, coming on as a substitute for Zhang Xiaobin in the 80th minute.[3] He made his Super League debut on 5 March 2017 in a 4–0 away defeat against Shanghai Shenhua.[4]

Able to take up a mandatory under-23 spot within the team, he would initially gain significant playing time at Jiangsu, but by the 2019 Chinese Super League season he would be unable to command the same amount of game time and was loaned out back to fellow top tier club Shenzhen.[5] On his return to Jiangsu, Gao would fight to gain more playing time and was part of the squad that won the 2020 Chinese Super League title with them.[6] On 28 February 2021, the parent company of the club Suning Holdings Group announced that operations were going to cease immediately due to financial difficulties.[7]

On 16 February 2021, Beijing Guoan announced the signing of Gao. He was given the number 15 shirt.[8] He would make his debut in a league game against Shanghai Shenhua on 24 April 2021 that ended in a 2–1 defeat.[9]

International career

On 24 March 2022, Gao made his international debut in a 1–1 draw against Saudi Arabia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification.

On 12 December 2023, Gao was named in China's squad for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar.[10] [11]
