Emilio Estevez Tsai (Chinese: 蔡立靖 Tsai Li-Ching; born August 10, 1998) is a Taiwanese-Canadian footballer who plays as a midfielder for ADO Den Haag and the Chinese Taipei national team.

Club career

Early career

Estevez began playing soccer with the Etobicoke Energy before switching to Clarkson SC in Mississauga.[1] In 2017, he attended Sheridan College, making seven appearances and scoring one goal for the Bruins.[2]

In 2018, Estevez played for League1 Ontario side North Mississauga SC, making eight appearances in league play.[3] He also played in the Canadian Soccer League with SC Waterloo Region.[4][5] That year he also spent time on trial with EFL Championship side Queens Park Rangers and La Liga side Levante.[1]

York9

In October 2018, Estevez participated in the Canadian Premier League Open Trials in Toronto, where he was highly rated by scouts.[6][7] On 8 February 2019, Estevez signed with CPL side York9.[7] On 4 May 2019, he made his professional debut as a starter in a match against Cavalry FC and assisted York's lone goal in a 2–1 loss.[8] Estevez scored his first goal for York on 27 July against HFX Wanderers, netting the final goal in a 6-2 victory.[9]

On December 10, 2019, it was announced that Estevez had re-signed for the upcoming season.[10]

ADO Den Haag

On May 12, 2020, York9 announced the sale of Estevez to Dutch Eredivisie club ADO Den Haag for an initial fee in the range of $100,000 CAD, plus add ons and a sell on clause.[11] He agreed to a one year contract with the club, with an option to extend for a further year.[12]

Estevez became the first player to move from the Canadian Premier League to a top-flight club in Europe.[13] He will become the first ever Taiwanese player to ply his trade in the Dutch Eredivisie, and the third overall to be playing in top European League.[14][15]

International career

Born in Toronto to a Spanish father and a Taiwanese mother, Estevez was eligible to represent Canada, Chinese Taipei or Spain internationally.[1]

In 2018, Estevez was invited to train with the Chinese Taipei national team.[16] In February 2019, shortly after signing for York9, Estevez received another call-up from Chinese Taipei for a friendly against the Solomon Islands, but did not appear in the match due to injury.[16][17] He made his debut as a starter in their loss to Australia during 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification on October 15, 2019.[18]
