Cha Du-Ri (Hangul: 차두리; born 25 July 1980) is a retired German-born South Korean professional footballer. He played as a right back, right winger, or striker. He is the first Korean player who was born outside of Korea to have played in a FIFA World Cup. Cha's father, Cha Bum-Kun played in the 1986 World Cup. Cha Du-Ri has also played for one of his father's old clubs, Eintracht Frankfurt. During the third-place match of the 2011 AFC Asian Cup against Uzbekistan, Cha captained the national team in place of the regular Korean captain, Park Ji-Sung.
Cha was born in Frankfurt am Main in West Germany, when his father Cha Bum-Kun was starring in the German Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt, and spent his childhood in Germany while his father was playing for Frankfurt and later for Bayer Leverkusen.
Cha started his club career in Germany and had spells with Bayer Leverkusen, Arminia Bielefeld and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Before the 2006–07 season kicked off, Cha Du-Ri changed his position from striker to right wingback for Mainz, but throughout the season, he was hampered with a foot injury that prevented him from joining the starting line-up or even getting some playing time. After the 2006–07 season, Mainz were relegated to 2. Bundesliga, and subsequently after, Cha terminated the contract.
