Atsuto Uchida (内田 篤人, Uchida Atsuto, born March 27, 1988) is a Japanese footballer, who currently plays for Schalke 04.
Club career
Uchida was educated at and played for Shimizu Higashi High School prior to joining the Kashima Antlers in 2006.[1] On 5 March 2006, he debuted for Kashima at the age of 17 in the season-opener against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, since which he has remained a fixture in the starting eleven. His first goal as a professional footballer came on 21 March 2006 when he scored against Ventforet Kofu. He was also selected by popular vote to play in the 2006 J. League All-Star Soccer game. On 13 June 2010, German club FC Schalke 04 announced that they had signed the Japanese international to a three-year contract.[2] On 13 April 2011 he became the first Japanese footballer to play for a team that reached the semi-finals of the Champion's League.
International career
He represented Japan at several underage levels. He was part of the Japan team for the 2006 AFC Youth Championship finals hosted by India and Japan finished runners-up. He also took part in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup finals hosted by Canada.
In 2006, he received an international call-up from national coach Ivica Osim but did not play any game. He finally made a full international debut for Japan on January 26, 2008 in a friendly against Chile at National Olympic Stadium in Tokyo. This was the first match under the reign of new manager Takeshi Okada. On February 6, 2008 he played 90 minutes for Japan in a 4-1 win against Thailand and became the first teenage Japanese footballer to play FIFA World Cup qualification after the establishment of the J. League in 1993. On June 22, 2008 he scored the winner in a 1–0 win against Bahrain.[3] It was his first international goal and he became the youngest Japanese goalscorer in FIFA World Cup qualification at age 20 years and 87 days, beating an 11-year-old record that was held by Hidetoshi Nakata.
He was a member of the Japan team for the 2008 Summer Olympics finals.[4]
