Yip Tsz Chun (Chinese: 葉子俊; Jyutping: jip6 zi2 zeon3; born 15 May 1985 in Hong Kong), is a Hong Kong footballer who plays for Hong Kong First Division League club Sun Pegasus and the Hong Kong national football team. He plays mainly as a striker but has also played as a left winger on many occasions.
He was also a member of Hong Kong national futsal team.
Yip was born in Hong Kong. When he was young, he joined Hong Kong First Division team South China youth academy. However, after he finished the secondary studies, he was forced to stop his professional football career due to injuries. He only played in the Hong Kong Second Division League as a non-professional player.
In 2007, Eastern was invited to promote to the Hong Kong top-tier league. Eastern coach Casemiro Mior invited Yip to join the club. Miro was the coach of South China youth team and Yip was one of his former player. Eastern were also Yip's first professional club.
After a season with Eastern, due to insufficient chances, Yip, alongside 7 other former Eastern players, joined the newly promoted team Mutual in the next season, the 2008–09 season.
