Geovane: talented foreign player

Geovane Magno is one of the best foreign players in the V-League in the past few years, helping Saigon FC play well and win 3rd place in the V-League 2020. In the V-League 2024 - 2025, he scored 3 goals in 4 matches for Ha Tinh FC, losing only to Tien Linh and was the owner of the first hat-trick of the tournament.

At this time, the transfer site transfermarkt statistics Geovane has 32 goals after 97 matches in the V-League. In addition to his scoring talent, the Brazilian striker is also mentioned as a player with good dribbling ability and fair-play, beautiful football.

Vietnam team will benefit

This is a big advantage for a player with an impressive height of 1.88 m but who plays football very technically. In addition to his forte as a striker, the only foreign player who has played for 3 capital teams (Hanoi Club, Hanoi Police Club, Viettel The Cong Club) can also play as a central midfielder or attacking midfielder.

If qualified to play for the Vietnam national team, Geovane will be a great help for coach Kim Sang-sik to solve the problem of midfield and connect the midfield with the attack, especially when a series of domestic stars in this position are having problems with form.

At 30 years old and with a professional lifestyle, Geovane can play top-level football for a few more years. Before him, another Brazilian player, Nguyen Xuan Son (formerly known as Rafaelson), officially became a Vietnamese citizen when the Nam Dinh Province Department of Justice issued the decision on October 15.
