Vietnamese football news over the past 24 hours has seen significant developments, from the plans of former head coach Park Hang-seo to the national team's preparations and transfer activity in the V.League.
Coach Park Hang-seo prioritizes his duties at the Korean Football Association.
Although the two-year contract between coach Park Hang-seo and Kanchanaburi club (Thailand) has been finalized, Thai fans will have to wait a little longer to see him on the sidelines. According to OSEN and Yonhap, the 68-year-old strategist is currently taking on an important role in his homeland.
Specifically, as the newly appointed Vice President of the Korea Football Association (KFA) effective April 2025, Mr. Park is currently leading the support team for the South Korean national team's 2026 World Cup campaign. His presence is expected to bring valuable management and expertise to the South Korean team on the world stage before he officially moves to Thailand to take up his new position.
The Vietnamese national team has finalized its training plan in South Korea.
To prepare for their regional title defense, the Vietnamese national team has officially confirmed their overseas training schedule. The entire team will travel to South Korea from July 2nd to July 14th. This is considered a crucial period for the coaching staff to assess the squad and develop a playing style for the 2026 ASEAN Cup.
In a related development concerning national teams, Vietnam's U17 opponent in the 2026 U17 World Cup, Mali's U17 team, has undergone a major change in its coaching staff. The country's football federation has decided to dismiss head coach Demba Mamadou Traore, creating uncertainty just before the biggest youth tournament on the planet.
V.League Highlights: Hanoi FC's Spirit and the Transfer Market
At Hang Day Stadium in Hanoi, the highly anticipated match between Hanoi FC and Thep Xanh Nam Dinh ended with a 2-1 victory for the capital city team. Although they no longer had a chance to compete for the championship, the performance of both teams still provided a high level of drama despite the harsh weather conditions.
Midfielder Do Hung Dung emphasized that mental strength was key to helping the team overcome difficulties: "Facing this weather, only spirit matters. Today, Hanoi FC's morale is better, and we just know we have to run on the field." The disciplined and determined playing style of the young Vietnamese players also received praise from regional media. Indonesian newspaper Bola Sport even likened the playing style of the young Vietnamese players to a combination of South American technique and European football discipline.
In the transfer market, reigning champions CAHN are very close to signing center-back Leonardo Rodrigues dos Santos (Leo Santos). The 27-year-old Brazilian is expected to be a strong addition to the police team's defense for the new season. Negotiations are progressing very smoothly and an announcement could be made soon.
