Brazilian striker Lucas Vinicius (Lucao do Break) will wear the army team shirt from the 2025-2026 season, bringing with him great expectations for his scoring performance in the attack. With a height of 1m84 and an ideal physique, the striker born in 1991 has the ability to press, fight in the air and shoot diversely in the penalty area.

In the 2024-2025 season, Lucao was one of the top 3 players in the V.League scoring list with 14 goals - contributing 48% of Hai Phong Club's total goals (29 goals).

Sharing on the day of signing the contract with the army team, Lucao said: “I am very honored to wear the shirt of a club with a rich tradition like The Cong - Viettel. This is a team with a strong fighting spirit, a thirst for victory and always receives enthusiastic support from fans. I came here to dedicate myself, score goals and most importantly, conquer titles with the whole team.”

Meanwhile, coach Velizar Popov said Lucao is the piece the army team has been waiting for: “We need a striker who can take advantage of opportunities, put pressure on the opponent’s defense and has experience in the V.League. Lucao meets all those factors. He not only has the ability to score goals but also plays well as a team player, knows how to coordinate and has good tactical thinking. I believe Lucao will help us solve the problem of finishing and open up many new attacking options.”

The recruitment of Lucao not only means increasing strength but also shows the team's determination for the new season. The Cong - Viettel is gradually perfecting the squad to realize the goal of conquering the top, building a strong, disciplined and dedicated playing style.
