Lee Seung-woo (Hangul: 이승우; Hanja: 李承佑; born 6 January 1998) is a South Korean footballer who plays for Spanish club FC Barcelona Juvenil A as a forward or attacking midfielder.
At age of 12, Lee caught the attention of FC Barcelona after he finished as the top scorer in the 2010 Danone Nations Cup, one of the most prestigious youth football tournaments. This event led to him joining the Spanish club. Lee progressed through its youth ranks, scoring consistently and winning MVP awards at several tournaments; his achievements earned him the reputation as one of La Masia's top talents.
Lee and eight other La Masia academy players were banned for infringement of the FIFA Youth Eligibility Rules, after which the club was prevented from signing anyone for one year, or two transfer windows. Until he turned 18 on January 6, 2016, Lee Seung-woo was not allowed to play in any official matches.
Lee made his international debut as a part of South Korea's U-16 team competing for the 2014 AFC U-16 Championship qualification, where he scored a hat-trick in 34 minutes against the team from Laos. He also scored a fourth goal later in the match.
In April 2014, Lee was a part of the South Korea U-16 team that was the runner-up at the Montaigu Tournament. Lee was named to the Team of the Tournament. In September, he led South Korea to another runner-up finish, this time at the 2014 AFC U-16 Championship. His best performance came against Japan during the semifinals; he netted a brace for the Korean Republic national football team, also known as the Taegeuk Warriors, with one goal driven directly to the net from the side of his team. He scored 5 goals and assisted four others in 5 total matches, earning the title as tournament MVP. This performance helped South Korea land a berth in the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
