Hlaing Bo Bo (born 8 July 1996) is a Burmese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Myanmar National League club Yangon United[2] and the Myanmar national football team.[1]

Club career

Hlaing Bo Bo played with his club at the 2015 AFC Cup, where he scored twice as well as being yellow carded in a 4–7 loss to Pahang FA.[2][3]

He joined Sukhothai on loan, failing to make a real impact during that time. He returned to Yadanarbon and eventually became captain for the rest of the 2022 Myanmar National League season; however, he has received two red cards due to unprofessional behavior towards referees.

After a disappointing 2022 season, Hlaing Bo Bo joined Yangon United. He stated that this may be his last club and might retire, focusing on a coaching career in the near future, after joining an interview with MNL.[4]
