Unless something changes, Filip Nguyen will complete the procedures for obtaining Vietnamese citizenship in early December. This is not only great news for the Vietnamese-born goalkeeper but also for coach Philippe Troussier.

For some time now, Filip Nguyen has been eager to play for the Vietnamese national team. However, due to various reasons, he was unable to successfully obtain Vietnamese citizenship and had to wait until now to fulfill his dream.

After obtaining Vietnamese citizenship, the goalkeeper born in 1992 could be one of the quality options for the goalkeeping position in the Vietnamese national team, creating exciting competition for Dang Van Lam.

Since taking over the Vietnamese national team, coach Philippe Troussier has repeatedly stated his desire to utilize the resources of Vietnamese players living abroad, and Filip Nguyen is one of the names that the French strategist has high hopes for.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Filip Nguyen will be called up to the Vietnamese national team for the training camp at the end of December in preparation for the 2023 Asian Cup.
