Au Yeung Yiu Chung studied at Yan Chai Hospital Tung Chi Ying Memorial Secondary School in Shatin and played for the school's football team in inter-school tournaments.
Au Yeung Yiu Chung made his debut in the Hong Kong First Division League for Hong Kong 08. After the team was disbanded at the end of the season, he turned down an offer from South China to join Workable for the 2007–08 season.
After one season with Workable, which sees the team relegated for 2008–09 season, Au Yeung Yiu Chung finally joins South China and takes over the vacant no. 10 shirt. He was only 18 when he signed for South China.
At South China his playing opportunities are less regular, as he plays in a similar position as team captain Li Haiqiang.
In 2010, Au spent a week with Tottenham Hotspur, the club partner of South China AA, and trained with the first team and received personal training from the Hotspurs.
In October 2011, Au Yeung Yiu Chung and teammate Kwok Kin Pong were sent to Tottenham Hotspur for training with Spurs' first team as part of the duo's development.[1]
In the 2011 AFC Cup, Au Yeung Yiu Chung was sent on as a substitute against East Bengal. He played on the right wing and delivered a perfect cross for Mateja Kežman to head home and scored the winning goal for South China.[2]
On 10 June 2013, Yokohama FC Hong Kong announced that they have recruited Au Yeung Yiu Chung and will send him, alongside Wong Wai, Leung Kwun Chung and Lee Kar Yiu to Yokohama FC on 16 June for a month's training. Au Yeung Yiu Chung said he joined Yokohama FC Hong Kong because he wants more playing opportunities. He will wear number 19 for his new club.[3]
He scored his only goal in the season against Sunray Cave JC Sun Hei on 30 March 2014.
On 22 August 2014, Atlético CP announced through their official website that they have completed the transfer of Au Yeung Yiu Chung.[4] He made his debut against S.C. Olhanense on 24 May 2015.[5]
Au Yeung Yiu Chung was unable to establish a place in Atlético CP. He transferred to G.S. Loures on 1 November 2015. Also, he has played 90 minutes for the first match.
On 26 December 2015, Au Yeung Yiu Chung had signed by China League One club Guizhou Zhicheng with a 3 years contract.[6][7]
On 2 March 2018, Hong Kong Premier League club Dreams announced that they had signed Au Chung.[8] On 3 July 2018, the club announced that Au Yeung's services would not be retained.[9]
After an injury-shorted half season, Au Chung left Dreams. He signed a one-year contract with Tai Po on 31 July 2018 in order to work with head coach Lee Chi Kin.[10]
Even though he had experience in Chinese Super League and Chinese League One in the previous year, Au Yeung was unable to break into the first team, and his chances were limited in the reserve team. He was played 4 times in the entire season, including 2 league matches, 1 cup match and 1 AFC match.
On 19 June 2019, Au Chung announced that his contract with Tai Po had ended and would search for a new club abroad.[11]
On 31 July 2019, Au Chung signed a one-year contract with Rangers. He became a regular player in the first two league matches but failed to lead the team to victory.[12] And he went on playing for the club in the first half of the 2019–20 season while a regular starting XI place was not guaranteed due to the arrival of several attacking players. He was released by the club after the club announced that they would withdraw from the remaining of the season.
On 13 April 2021, J3 League club YSCC Yokohama announced that they have signed a contract with Au Chung. [13] He became the first Hong Kong player to play for a J.League club.
He was selected for the Hong Kong team in 2008 and made his international debut in the 9–1 thrashing of Macau in November of the same year, scoring one goal.
On 14 January 2009, he scored his second goal for Hong Kong with a freekick against India. On 30 September 2011, Au Yeung Yiu Chung scored the equalising goal in the 3:3 draw with the Philippines in the 2011 Long Teng Cup.[14]
Au Yeung Yiu Chung was appointed as captain by coach Kim Pan Gon for the Hong Kong national under-23 football team at the 2009 East Asian Games and led the side to the final against Japan national under-23 football team. The game ended 1–1 after extra time. Au Yeung missed his penalty in the penalty shoot-out and cried. Fortunately Hong Kong scored all the other penalties while Yapp Hung Fai made multiple saves and won the gold medal, which was the first international football tournament title that Hong Kong had obtained.[15]
Au Yeung Yiu Chung was a member of the Hong Kong national under-23 football team again for the 2010 Asian Games. In the final group game, Au Yeung Yiu Chung scored two goals against Bangladesh and helped Hong Kong win 4:1 and advance to the knock-out stage for the first time in 52 years.[16] But Hong Kong was then eliminated by 0:3 by Oman.
Au Yeung Yiu Chung was a member of the Hong Kong national under-23 football team again for the 2012 London Olympics. The team won its first round tie against Maldives by 7:0 aggregate score but lost 0:3 on aggregate to Uzbekistan in the second round.
He has been omitted from the national squad ever since due to his lack of form.
