Club career
Ou started his football career with Guangdong Hongyuan F.C. during the 1988 football league season. With them Ou would see Guangdong establish themselves as a professional football club in the Chinese league system and also help them come second in the 1993 league season.[1] Guangdong, however were relegated in the 1997 league season and Ou Chuliang was transferred to Shanghai Shenhua at the beginning of the 1998 league season.[2] With Shanghai Ou Chuliang would make an immediate impact by helping them come second within the league as well as aiding them in their Chinese FA Cup win. Yunnan Hongta who were a newly promoted football team wanted to take Ou Chuliang in their attempt to establish themselves within the top tier and Ou would help them do this by quickly establish himself in the team by playing in 26 league games and aiding Yunnan Hongta avoid relegation.[3] Qu would spend several more seasons with Yunnan before being transferred to Chongqing Lifan F.C. in 2004 eventually ending his career with them.
International career
Ou would make his international debut against Canada on the 2nd of April, 1992 in a 5-2 in a friendly match defeat.[4] Despite the defeat, Ou would be given the chance to play in several other friendlies which were enough to be called up to the Chinese squad that took part in the 1992 AFC Asian Cup where he played understudy to Yubin Fu. Ou would rise to prominence when he replaced Yubin Fu as the first choice goalkeeper for China in the 1996 AFC Asian Cup by starting the first game of the tournament against Uzbekistan.[5] After a disappointing 1998 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC), Ou found himself increasingly replaced by Jiang Jin and was replaced as first choice goalkeeper in the 2000 AFC Asian Cup. When China qualified for the FIFA World Cup Jiang Jin remained the first choice goalkeeper throughout the tournament.
Coaching career
After he retired he would move to the United Kingdom and Germany to study for and achieve a Fifa coaching licence. When he returned in 2005 he was offered an assistant goalkeeping position for the Chinese U-23 football team to help them prepare for the Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Ou would only stay for a short period before he returned to Shanghai Shenhua to become their goalkeeping coach. By 2008 he was offered another assistant position, this time with the Chinese senior team as their new goalkeeping coach.
