Vietnamese female player about to sign billion-dollar contract

According to VTC News, a Northern football team is negotiating with two national female players. They plan to pay each player a "signing fee" of VND1 billion for two seasons. This is an unprecedented fee in the history of Vietnamese women's football.

Previously, only one team wanted to buy back the contract of midfielder Nguyen Thi Tuyet Dung from Phong Phu Ha Nam Club but failed.

Most recently, Thai Nguyen T&T spent 500 million VND for 2 seasons with defender My Anh with a salary of 30 million VND/month. My Anh, Hoai Luong and Thuy Nga are the first stars of Vietnamese women's football to receive large "bribes".

Many TP.HCM I players are about to expire their contracts.

Currently, Ho Chi Minh City Club I is a team that is worried about the personnel situation. A series of key players of this team are about to expire their contracts and many opponents are waiting for a move to negotiate with Thuy Trang, Tran Thi Thu, Tran Thi Kim Thanh, Chuong Thi Kieu or Nguyen Thi Bich Thuy.

Currently, the reigning Vietnamese women's football champion is trying to find more sponsorship sources from businesses to retain the players. Compared to many previous seasons, Ho Chi Minh City I, although the champion, no longer has an absolute advantage. They are equal on points with Vietnam Coal and Minerals and only 1 point ahead of Hanoi I.

Coach Doan Thi Kim Chi understands that the current generations of Ho Chi Minh City I cannot meet the goal of defending the championship. They still need the services of veterans to maintain the achievements they have achieved over the years.

Female players receiving appropriate salaries and "kickbacks" is a reasonable development trend of Vietnamese football. Only when income at the club level is increased, competition between teams will increase, and the quality of the National Women's Championship will improve.

Of course, the salaries and fees that female players receive will hardly be comparable to their male counterparts. In the world, the income gap between male and female players in the same country is still an unresolved problem.
