Early life
Born into a farming family in Haenam County, as a child Cha was a talented track and field athlete, but she was forced to take a break from the sport as a middle school student due to injury.[2] However, a coach noticed her potential when she took part in a friendly football match, and she started playing football seriously while attending Gwangyang Girls' High School.[3]
Club career
In April 2009, she was loaned to SC 07 Bad Neuenahr for one year and two months, becoming the first female Korean footballer to play in Europe.[4] She wanted to stay in Germany longer but her parent club Goyang Daekyo was struggling and recalled her to boost their performance.[5] After Daekyo's disbandment in 2017, Cha was part of the first squad of Gyeongju KHNP WFC following its foundation.[6] She retired from football at the end of the 2017 season.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Managerial career
After retiring as a player, Cha took a year away from football and trained as a barista, but returned to the sport as a youth coach after being encouraged by a friend.[5] At first, she volunteered at a local youth futsal team in Icheon, before joining Gangwon FC as manager of the youth academy and women's futsal team.[8]
