Hendrio Araujo comes from the renowned Barcelona youth academy and spent many years playing for prestigious clubs in Brazil, Spain, Portugal, and other countries before moving to Vietnam to play in the V-League.

Horizon

The 31-year-old midfielder possesses excellent individual technique, keen vision for playmaking, dangerous finishing, and a modern attacking football tactical mindset.

He, along with Nguyen Xuan Son (Rafaelson), played a major role in Nam Dinh Club's remarkable achievement of winning the V-League championship for two consecutive years.

Previously, Hendrio was a key player in the Binh Dinh Club's lineup, helping them win third place in the V-League and finish as runners-up in the National Cup in the 2022 season.

After achieving success with the Nam Dinh team, Hoang Hen moved to Hanoi FC in the middle of the 2024-2025 season but was not registered to play in the 2025-2026 season.

Do Hoang Hen

Having lived and played football in Vietnam for over five years, Hendrio can communicate in Vietnamese and meets the requirements for Vietnamese citizenship.

On October 16th, the Brazilian-born foreign midfielder officially became a Vietnamese citizen under the name Do Hoang Hen. He has scored a total of 29 goals and provided 31 assists, and can play well as an attacking midfielder or winger.

Hoang Hen's acquisition of Vietnamese citizenship also opens up more opportunities for the national team to have the services of a world- class midfielder.

Hoang Hen and Xuan Son were once a fearsome attacking duo in the V-League, and their reunion will make the Vietnamese national team's attack even sharper and more effective.

Xuan Son is recovering from injury and may return to play soon. If the Vietnamese national team can strengthen their squad with Xuan Son and Hoang Hen for the rematch against Malaysia at the end of March 2026, coach Kim Sang-sik's team will have a strong chance of qualifying for the 2027 Asian Cup.
