Vietnamese-born defender joins Nam Dinh Club.

Kevin Pham Ba has joined Nam Dinh FC and is registered for the second half of the 2024-2025 V.League season. The player, born in 1994, is of French-Vietnamese descent (his grandfather is Vietnamese). He plays for Nam Dinh under the Vietnamese-born foreign player category.

According to Transfermarkt data, Kevin Pham Ba is 1.81m tall, primarily plays as a right-back, and can also play as a center-back. The 31-year-old player is considered by Nam Dinh FC to possess good speed.

He received his training in the youth team of Sochaux club. Before coming to Vietnam, Kevin Pham Ba only played in the lower leagues of France.

Nam Dinh FC has signed Kevin Pham Ba.

In the first half of the season, the right-back position for Nam Dinh FC was occupied by To Van Vu. A month ago, he suffered a serious injury. He tore his anterior cruciate ligament, requiring surgery and a long period of absence from playing. Kevin Pham Ba (number 93) will replace To Van Vu on the right flank of Nam Dinh FC's defense.

Besides Kevin Pham Ba, Nam Dinh also welcomed another notable new signing, Lam Ti Phong, from Thanh Hoa FC. The foreign player roster of the V.League leaders also saw changes as they were unable to utilize all eight foreign players.

Midfielder Hendrio Araujo – once a top star for Nam Dinh alongside Nguyen Xuan Son – has been left out of the team's squad list. The Brazilian player was also unable to transfer to Binh Dinh and Thanh Hoa.

Coach Vu Hong Viet registered five foreign players for the second half of the season: Joseph Mpande, Romulo, Caio Cesar, Lucas Silva, and Brenner. Of these, Romulo and Brenner are two new foreign players who signed contracts in January 2025.
