Today's National Cup schedule: It would be great if Cong Phuong and Xuan Truong both shine

The stars who grew up from HAGL such as Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, Minh Vuong are expected to help Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club defeat Becamex TP.HCM team in the 2025-2026 National Cup qualifying round.

The first division championship candidates take to the field, Cong Phuong faces a challenge

The National Cup qualifying round on September 14 will begin with the match between Van Hien University Club and Bac Ninh team, taking place at 4 p.m. at Thong Nhat Stadium. This season, Bac Ninh Club is led by coach Paulo Foiani, former captain of Hanoi Police Club. They are also one of the candidates for the first division championship when recruiting a series of quality players with experience playing in V-League such as Nguyen Thanh Long, Truong Van Thiet, Nguyen Thanh Khoi, Ho Ngoc Thang, Ngan Van Dai, Nguyen Hai Huy, Mai Xuan Quyet, Pham Van Thanh, Ha Duc Chinh...

Quang Ninh Club, a team that is also quite ambitious, has a bigger challenge. At 6 p.m., they have to play away at the V-League representative, Ha Tinh Club. Although they have been active in the transfer market with a series of new players such as Nghiem Xuan Tu, Mac Hong Quan, Vu Minh Tuan... the mining team will still face difficulties when Ha Tinh Club has good form with 6 points after 3 rounds in the V-League.

Will Cong Phuong and his former teammates at HAGL have enough strength to help Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club win?

The remaining first-class championship candidate, Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club, also faces an opponent from V-League: Becamex TP.HCM Club. This match will take place at 7:15 p.m. at Binh Phuoc Stadium. With the support of home fans, a series of stars such as Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, and Minh Vuong have more motivation to explode. They need to show their experience to lead their teammates to overcome Becamex TP.HCM Club. And that is not a simple matter, even though Becamex TP.HCM Club no longer has Nguyen Tien Linh and Que Ngoc Hai, while Bui Vi Hao and Ho Tan Tai have not returned after injury. The team from Thu Dau Mot has another advantage: Head coach Nguyen Anh Duc knows Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club very well. This former national team player used to lead Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc Club (Truong Tuoi Dong Nai Club before changing its name).

The remaining first division team competing in this round is Thanh Nien TP.HCM Club. At 6pm, they will face Da Nang team at Hoa Xuan Stadium.

Attractive capital derby

At 7:15 p.m., The Cong Viettel Club will face the Hanoi team in the most exciting match of the National Cup qualifying round. At this time, the army team is in better form as it is still undefeated in the V-League, has 7 points and is ranked 3rd on the rankings. On the other hand, the Hanoi Club has only 1 point and is ranked 11th. However, Van Quyet and his teammates have never been easy opponents to bully in big matches. In a "corner", they will have the motivation to come back strongly. Therefore, coach Velizar Popov and his team need to be careful.
