Xuan Son returns to the Vietnam national team?

Striker Nguyen Xuan Son was named by coach Kim Sang-sik to the Vietnam national team's squad list in November 2025, although he has not yet officially returned to play with Nam Dinh Club.

On November 1, many sources confirmed that striker Nguyen Xuan Son was included in the Vietnam national team's squad list by coach Kim Sang-sik for the FIFA Days in November 2025.

Besides Xuan Son, two other stars of Nam Dinh Club, defender Nguyen Van Vi and Dang Van Toi, were also named by the Korean coach to the team list.

Xuan Son was recalled to the Vietnam national team in November 2025.

Xuan Son was called up by coach Kim Sang-sik to the Vietnam national team for the AFF Cup 2024. Although he had to wait until the last match of the group stage to qualify for the competition, he still left a strong impression.

In that tournament, the Brazilian player shone brightly and helped the Vietnamese team win the championship. On an individual basis, he received two titles: Top scorer and Best player of the tournament.

But in the return match against Thailand, Xuan Son suddenly got injured and had to sit out until now. According to the information, he has fully recovered and can return to play at any time.

However, Xuan Son will have to wait until January 2026 to be able to play for Nam Dinh Club because the team did not register him to play in the first phase of the season.

This November, although he has been called up to the Vietnam national team, Xuan Son's ability to play is still uncertain and will depend entirely on whether his physical condition is guaranteed or not.

According to the announced schedule, in November 2025, the “Golden Star Warriors” will only play one match against Laos in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. In October, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team played two matches against Nepal and had a perfect record of victories.

Vietnam is currently second in Group F of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers with 9 points after 4 matches. Meanwhile, Malaysia is leading with 12 points.
