Ma Xiaoxu (simplified Chinese: 马晓旭; traditional Chinese: 馬曉旭; pinyin: Mǎ Xiǎoxù; born 5 June 1988) is a Chinese footballer who has played for Dalian Quanjian and Beijing BG Phoenix of the Chinese Women's Super League.[1] She also spent a short time with Umeå IK of the Swedish Damallsvenskan in 2007.
In February 2007 Ma agreed an initial six-month contract with Swedish Damallsvenskan champions Umeå IK,[2] on a reported monthly salary of USD 5,000.[3] She made a substitute appearance as Umeå beat Linköpings FC in the Svenska Supercupen,[4] then scored on her league debut as Umeå defeated QBIK 4–0 on the opening match day.[5]
Ma featured in both legs of Umeå's 2007 UEFA Women's Cup Final defeat by Arsenal. The following month Ma and Marta both scored twice in a 5–2 Damallsvenskan win over Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC.[6] Ma struggled with the intensity of the training at Umeå,[7] and was criticised by the coach Andrée Jeglertz for her lack of mobility and poor work-rate.[8] She was released from her Umeå contract early in July 2007, to return to China in preparation for the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup which they were hosting.[9]
In December 2020 Ma and several other experienced players left Beijing BG Phoenix amid economic downsizing at the club.[10]
