On his personal page, the representative of striker Geovane Magno confirmed that this player is promoting the application for Vietnamese citizenship. Geovane came to Vietnam in 2018 and has lived in the S-shaped strip of land for 5 consecutive years. Once he is granted citizenship, he will immediately be eligible to play for the Vietnamese national team.
The activities to apply for citizenship for Geovane were promoted after the second round of V.League. He scored a hat-trick and expressed his wish to Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club. The Central team made efforts to provide legal support so that their player could quickly obtain citizenship. Of course, this is a long journey and it is very likely that Geovane will still have to play as a foreign player until the end of this season.
Geovane Magno applies for Vietnamese citizenship.
If considered a domestic player, Geovane is completely capable of being called up to the Vietnam national team. He is considered the top attacking midfielder in the V.League in the past few years. The player born in 1994 is tall but plays intelligently and with great technique.
In 6 seasons playing in Vietnam, Geovane Magno scored 20 goals and had 25 assists for his teammates. He played best when playing with his close friend Pedro Paulo. However, Geovane still had certain disadvantages that made it difficult for him to shine.
Unlike Nguyen Xuan Son (Rafaelson Fernandes), Geovane Magno is 30 years old and will turn 31 next year. The former Saigon FC player's peak playing time is not much left. Geovane himself has declined quite a bit compared to himself, mainly due to injuries. Moreover, the Vietnamese team still has Hoang Duc, Quang Hai and a few other names who play well in the attacking midfield position.
Meanwhile, Xuan Son is only 27 years old, continuously scoring goals in V.League and playing as a striker - a "red alert" position for the Vietnamese team. But after receiving Vietnamese nationality at the beginning of this season, Xuan Son has not played effectively. However, he is still the hope for coach Kim Sang-sik in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.
