Club career[]

Early career[]

Wong Wai studied in Yu Chun Keung Memorial College and graduated after form 5 study. He represented various youth levels of the national team.

Sham Shui Po[]

He joined Third Division club Sham Shui Po when he was young. In 2008, youth team members were all promoted to the club's first team in order to gain experience. In the first season, the club reached the final of Junior Shield, which they eventually lost 0–2 to Shatin. Wong Wai played 5 out of 6 games and scored a goal in the semi-finals.

In his second season, he scored 12 goals throughout the season, including 3 goals in the promotion play-offs, which he helped the club gain promotion to the Second Division.

Wong Wai helped the club gain promotion to the First Division for the first time in club history by scoring 12 goals in 19 games in the 2010–11 season. In the 2011–12 season, he failed to help the team prevent relegation to the Second Division, although he featured in most of the matches.

Metro Gallery[]

He linked up with former Sham Shui Po player and manager Lee Chi Kin and joined Metro Gallery in July 2012.[2]

Tai Po[]

After the conclusion of his contract, Wong once again followed Lee Chi Kin, this time to newly promoted HKPL club Tai Po. He was revealed as a Tai Po player during the club's season kick-off event on 19 July 2016.[3]

On 17 July 2019, it was revealed that Wong had left Tai Po at the end of his contract.[4]

Eastern[]

On 27 September 2019, once again following Lee Chi Kin, Wong signed for Eastern.[5]

HK U23[]

Before the beginning of the Hong Kong Premier League 2021/22 season, the newly formed HK U23 club announced that Wong Wai is to join the team on-loan for the season as one of the over-aged players.

International career[]

He had represented the Hong Kong national under-19 football team and participated in the 2010 AFC U-19 Championship qualification held in Indonesia. He scored one goal in four games.

On 16 February 2013, he received his first call-up from the senior team for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualification against Vietnam.[6][7] However, he was excluded from the final squad announced on 15 March 2013.[8]

On 31 May 2013, he was included into the 20-men final squad for an international friendly match against the Philippines held on 4 June.[9] He made his debut during the match, as he entered in the 77th minute as a substitute for Leung Chun Pong.[10]
