The man who "ignited" football in Dong Nai.

A 3-0 victory against Long An in Round 21 of the 2025-2026 National First Division League secured Truong Tuoi Dong Nai FC the championship title one round early, simultaneously earning them promotion to the V.League for the 2026-2027 season. This marks the first time in Dong Nai football history that they have won a professional league championship, opening a new and proud chapter for football in the merged Dong Nai - Binh Phuoc provinces. Furthermore, the way "Chairman" Son has poured his heart and soul into football at this season's First Division champions is truly remarkable!

Determined to conquer the "top level" of football.

Behind the championship trophy won by Truong Tuoi Dong Nai FC lies the arduous journey of a united team, built on ambition, belief, and serious investment over many years. From the days when it was still called Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc, the team came very close to the V.League but missed out. However, failure did not deter the "Green Warriors"; on the contrary, it motivated them to return stronger with a well-structured development strategy, a quality squad, and a burning desire to conquer the top.

The 2025-2026 season saw Truong Tuoi Dong Nai displaying consistent and resilient performance. The team maintained an unbeaten record at times, boasted the strongest attack in the league, and consistently held the top spot in the standings. Experienced players like Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, and Minh Vuong, along with a quality squad, created a formidable force for the "Green Warriors". But when talking about the person who contributed most to today's success, fans all mention a familiar name - Mr. Pham Huong Son, the club's president (or affectionately known as "Chairman Son"). After three years involved in professional football, with the championship just won, the happiest person is undoubtedly the president born in 1983. "I'm so happy and proud, we did it, the team is the champion. I dedicate this victory to all the Dong Nai fans. We will make the most thorough preparations to play in the V.League," Mr. Son said, overwhelmed with emotion, right after the victory against Long An to claim the championship.

Football and filial piety

What's quite special about Mr. Pham Huong Son is that his passion for football isn't just pure love, but also a deep affection for his homeland and family. The name "Truong Tuoi" (Truong Tuoi) on the team's jerseys holds special significance. It's a combination of his parents' names, Mr. Pham Cong Truong and Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hong Tuoi, veterans who overcame hardships to build their careers and raise generations of children. For Mr. Son, football isn't just a game; it's a way to show gratitude to his parents. Every match, every achievement of the team carries within it the feelings and gratitude of a son for his parents. In recent years, as Mr. Truong and Mrs. Tuoi battle illness, the presence of the name Truong Tuoi on football fields across the country has become more meaningful than ever. It serves as an affirmation of filial piety, respect for family, and the values ​​that are always preserved.

Therefore, winning the 2025-2026 First Division Championship is not simply a sporting title. It's also a beautiful story about perseverance in pursuing passion, about the aspiration to elevate local football, and about the love for family embedded in every step of the team's development. Understanding the noble meaning that the club's "leader" has for football, all team members feel immense respect. Goalkeeper Bui Tan Truong, the "elder brother" of the "Green Warriors," shared: "I also live for my family, but when I understand how much love and filial piety Son has for his parents, I am deeply moved and admire him. I can only wish him continued success and happiness, and pray that Mr. Truong and Mrs. Tuoi will regain their health!"

Not only did the team members feel the affection that "Chairman" Son had for his parents, but the club's fans also greatly appreciated this filial piety. Mr. Tran Lam Huy from Chon Thanh ward, who regularly travels more than 30km to cheer on Truong Tuoi Dong Nai's matches at home, expressed: "When I learned that the Chairman of this club does football out of filial piety for his parents, I truly admired such a person. For me, it's not just about loving football, but also about appreciating the way Mr. Pham Huong Son does football."

From today, millions of football fans in Dong Nai City have every right to be proud as their local "king of sports" has made its way to Vietnam's highest level of competition. Behind this historic trophy are the unsung heroes, including Mr. Son, who dedicated his heart and soul to realizing the V.League dream for his hometown. The championship belongs to Truong Tuoi Dong Nai, but perhaps the greatest value the team brings is the belief that, with passion, kindness, and perseverance, seemingly distant dreams can still become reality.
