Ma Xiaoxu

Ma Xiaoxu (; born 5 June 1988) is a Chinese football coach and former footballer who has played for Dalian Quanjian and Beijing BG Phoenix of the Chinese Women's Super League. She also spent a short time with Umeå IK of the Swedish Damallsvenskan in 2007.

Club career Umeå In February 2007 Ma agreed an initial six-month contract with Swedish Damallsvenskan champions Umeå IK, on a reported monthly salary of USD 5,000. She made a substitute appearance as Umeå beat Linköpings FC in the Svenska Supercupen, then scored on her league debut as Umeå defeated QBIK 4–0 on the opening match day.

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. Ma struggled with the intensity of the training at Umeå, and was criticised by the coach Andrée Jeglertz for her lack of mobility and poor work-rate. 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.

Beijing In December 2020 Ma and several other experienced players left Beijing BG Phoenix amid economic downsizing at the club. In 2022, Ma decided to retire and transformed as the assistant coach.

Coaching career On 4 January 2026, Ma was appointed as the head coach of China women's national under-17 football team.

On 25 May 2026, Ma joined China women's national football team as assistant coach.
