The V-League is showing such great potential, what else would you watch if not this!

There are many reasons to believe that the 2025-2026 V-League will be very exciting. Besides the unmissable derby matches, many teams are currently investing heavily to compete both domestically and internationally.

With intense competition in the domestic league, the V-League promises to be very exciting.

Among the localities with representatives participating in the V-League 2025-2026, there are 3 clubs based in Hanoi (Hanoi FC, Hanoi Police FC, The Cong Viettel ), 2 clubs based in Ho Chi Minh City (Becamex Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City Police FC), and 2 teams based in Ninh Binh (Nam Dinh FC and Ninh Binh FC). These are all very strong teams, promising to create exciting derby matches when they clash in the domestic league.

Another detail that makes the V-League so exciting is the significant investment in squads by many teams, ready to compete for top positions in this year's tournament. The list of contenders for the V-League 2025-2026 title is quite long. These include Hanoi FC, Hanoi Police FC (CAHN), The Cong Viettel, Ninh Binh, Nam Dinh, while the two teams from Ho Chi Minh City are still unknown quantities in the league.

For example, Hanoi FC boasts a large contingent of national team players, including Xuan Manh, Thanh Chung, Duy Manh, Hai Long, Tuan Hai, plus one of the best V-League players of the past decade, Van Quyet, and the promising young talent Nguyen Van Truong. CAHN Club has Quang Hai, Nguyen Filip, Viet Anh, Dinh Trong, Cao Pendant Quang Vinh, and the newly crowned champions of the 2025 Southeast Asian U.23 Championship, Nguyen Dinh Bac and Pham Ly Duc.

The Cong Viettel boasts some of the best defensive players in Vietnamese football today, such as center-backs Bui Tien Dung and Nguyen Thanh Binh, right-back Truong Tien Anh, and midfielder Nguyen Cong Phuong. Meanwhile, Nam Dinh has Nguyen Xuan Son, Nguyen Van Toan, Nguyen Tuan Anh, and Nguyen Van Vi – all of whom are among the most talented players in Vietnamese football currently.

Ninh Binh, in particular, is ready to challenge any other opponent. Although a newcomer, the team from the ancient capital of Hoa Lu boasts an expensive squad with goalkeeper Dang Van Lam, defenders Nguyen Huu Tuan and Vo Anh Quan, midfielders Nguyen Hoang Duc and Nguyen Duc Viet, striker Nguyen Quoc Viet, and Bulgarian-Vietnamese star Do Nguyen Thanh Chung…

Take the international arena seriously.

Vietnamese clubs are not only determined to compete for top positions in domestic competitions, but they also have a strong desire to conquer the international arena. This is a completely different mindset and mentality compared to the past.

Following the success of CAHN FC in the Southeast Asian Champions League last season, domestic teams now believe they can succeed on the international stage. In the 2025-2026 season, CAHN FC will continue to participate in regional and continental competitions. Nam Dinh FC will be accompanying CAHN FC in the Southeast Asian Champions League and the AFC Champions League 2.

These two teams possess a strong and numerous squad, allowing them to spread their resources across multiple competitions. Furthermore, the substantial prize money awarded to teams that advance deep into the Southeast Asian Champions League and the Asian Cup Winners' Cup will provide additional motivation for these two V-League teams.

In the AFC Cup, the team that reaches the final will have the opportunity to face the giant Al-Nassr (Saudi Arabia), a team boasting three of the world's top superstars: Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix (Portugal), and Sadio Mane (Senegal). This is certainly a goal worth striving for: Quang Hai, Viet Anh, Nguyen Filip (CAHN FC), or Xuan Son, Tuan Anh, Van Vi (Nam Dinh FC)... to compete for a trophy in an official continental tournament against one of the greatest players in world football history, Ronaldo!
