Overseas Vietnamese player Chung Nguyen Do prepares to return home

Chung Do Nguyen's Impressive Resume

Chung Nguyen Do's Vietnamese name is Do Nguyen Thanh Chung. He was born on May 23, 2005 in the capital Sofia of Bulgaria, with both parents being Vietnamese. Chung Nguyen Do joined the youth football academy of Slavia Sofia in 2012, when he was only 7 years old, with the determination to pursue professional football. He is one of the most precious gems of the 2005 generation of Slavia Sofia in particular and youth football in general.

Chung Nguyen Do played for Bulgaria U.17 in 2021 - 2022, then was promoted to Bulgaria U.19 in 2022, when he was not yet 17 years old. In early 2023, at the age of 18, Chung Nguyen Do played for Bulgaria U.21. At Slavia Sofia, Chung Nguyen Do is the youngest player to play the most with 58 matches in 3 seasons, scoring 2 goals.
Chung Nguyen Do plays midfielder, 1.75 m tall. The player born in Bulgaria has good tactical thinking, handles the ball quickly and skillfully, and can play many positions in the midfield such as defensive midfielder, central midfielder or attacking midfielder.
Most likely, Chung Nguyen Do's destination is Ninh Binh Club. The new V-League 2025 - 2026 rookie is spending a lot of money, bringing in the trio Dung Quang Nho, Chau Ngoc Quang and Tran Bao Toan from HAGL, and signing a contract with center back Janclesio from Becamex TP.HCM Club. If owning Chung Nguyen Do, the V-League giant team will have a promising midfield, when it already has Nguyen Hoang Duc.
The trend of overseas Vietnamese coming to play in V-League
In case Chung Nguyen Do returns to Vietnam, the V-League next season will have many talented and promising overseas Vietnamese. Previously, Brandon Ly, a midfielder who played for Burnley U.21 in the English semi-professional league, also chose to return to Vietnam to play for the Hanoi Police Club (CAHN Club).
The influx of overseas Vietnamese has helped Vietnamese football produce more and more "gems", such as Nguyen Filip and Cao Pendant Quang Vinh, who have all successfully naturalized. Young star Le Viktor has also obtained citizenship and is playing for the U.23 Vietnam team. Famous players such as Kevin Pham Ba and Adou Minh are also waiting for the day they obtain citizenship.
It is possible that Chung Nguyen Do will be called up by coach Kim Sang-sik to the U.23 Vietnam team or the Vietnam national team for a trial (in case he has citizenship and valid papers). If he meets the requirements of ability and adaptability, the door to the national team will be wide open for the former U.21 Bulgaria player.
