On the 28th, Zhu Jun, a member of the Shanghai Jucheng, scored the first winning goal in the second half of the 2025 Chinese Champions League (fourth division) match against Wuhan Juxing Shining to lead the team to a 1-0 victory.
Zhu Jun broke the record for the oldest scorer in China's fourth division history and was also named the game's most valuable player. Shanghai has won three games in a row.
According to Chinese media, in the 43rd minute of the second half, Shanghai ace Jung Yi-pei approached the opponent's penalty box with an unstoppable dribble. Jung Yi-pei was able to shoot directly past the defender, but calmly passed to Joo Jun next to him. Ju-jun, who received the ball, decorated a page of legend with a calm shot.
Ju-jun drew even more attention because he was not the main character of the theater. Zhu Jun, born in 1966, is an investor and player at Shanghai Jucheng (Shanghai Saigon). He played in both the Chinese Champions League and the FA Cup last season and broke the record of oldest scoring in the FA Cup.
Zhu Jun, who built a huge fortune by setting up an online game company, influenced the Chinese soccer community by serving as the owner of Shanghai Shenhua from 2007 to 2014. After leaving Shenhua, he founded Shanghai Jucheng himself in 2020. Afterwards, he participated in the Chinese Champions League under the name of Shanghai Saigonda (Second). He re-recruited a player from the Chinese Super League at his own expense to build the strongest squad in the fourth division.
Joo Jun is showing off his pride as if he became a professional player while investing heavily in the club. They often post photos of them participating in team training and participating in the game on social media.
Ju-jun said after the game, "I have no special feelings. He scored goals last year, the year before, and every year. There's nothing special about it. There is no goal for the future. I'm just running to enjoy myself. Happiness and health come first. That's football."
