Hideyuki Ujiie (氏家 英行, Ujiie Hideyuki, born February 23, 1979) is a former Japanese football player. He played as a midfielder.
Hideyuki Ujiie's Club Career
Hideyuki Ujiie was born in Tokyo, Japan, on February 23, 1979. He started his football journey in the youth team of Yokohama Flügels. He played there until 1996.
After a year of training, he joined the main team in 1998. He was originally a forward, which means he played closer to the opponent's goal. However, his manager, Carles Rexach, changed his position. Ujiie became a defensive midfielder. This role means he helped protect his team's goal.
Sadly, the Yokohama Flügels club faced money problems. It had to close down at the end of 1998. Ujiie then moved to Omiya Ardija, a club in the J2 League. He became a regular player there, continuing his role as a defensive midfielder.
From 2003, he started playing less often for Omiya Ardija. In 2005, he moved to Thespa Kusatsu. This team had just been promoted to the J2 League. However, he left Thespa Kusatsu at the end of 2005. This was also due to the club having financial difficulties.
In May 2006, Ujiie joined Tonan SC Gunma. This club later became known as Tonan Maebashi. He played for them for many years. Hideyuki Ujiie retired from playing football at the end of the 2014 season.
National Team Journey
In April 1999, Hideyuki Ujiie was chosen to play for the Japan U-20 national team. This team competed in the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship. This is a big international tournament for young football players.
During the tournament, Ujiie played in one important match. He stepped in for another player, Shinji Ono, who could not play. Japan did very well in this championship. They finished in second place, which was a great achievement for the team.
