Cao Hoang Tu – Dong Nai
Cao Hoang Tu is a name not unfamiliar to those who love HAGL Club and the HAGL-JMG training facility as he is a member of course 4 along with other teammates such as Hoang Vinh Nguyen, Nguyen Thanh Khoi, Vo Huu Viet Hoang or Phan Du Hoc. Similar to many other young players of HAGL, Cao Hoang Tu was loaned to many lower division teams to gain experience.

In the 2020 season, he was trusted by Coach Kiatisak to fill in the AFC Champions League squad and even appeared on the field many times as a substitute in this tournament. However, surprisingly, during the preparation process for the 2023/2024 season, Cao Hoang Tu was not retained and eventually had to move to Dong Nai FC.
Here he quickly proved his class by scoring 3 goals in the first 6 rounds, helping Dong Nai FC get 2 important victories against Dong Thap and Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc.
Thai Ba Dat – PVF-CAND
PVF has continuously produced many generations of quality players in recent years and Thai Ba Dat is one of the most prominent names. This player with a very “manly” appearance has won national U15, U17 and U19 championships with PVF and he played an important role in all of these tournaments.

Playing at position number 10, Thai Ba Dat is an important link in PVF-CAND’s playing style and is expected to continue to develop further in the near future.
Nguyen Ngoc My – Binh Phuoc Fresh School
Binh Phuoc transforms in the 2023/24 season with a new sponsor, which means many quality players from all over are coming to join coach Nguyen Anh Duc’s team. However, the names that make the strongest impression are the very young players, from “homegrown” Dieu Quy to the duo borrowed from Thanh Hoa, Van Vinh and Nguyen Ngoc My.

Born in 2004, Nguyen Ngoc My has always been extremely active on the left wing of Binh Phuoc with remarkable acceleration and glide power. He is truly an obsession with the opponent’s defense and is an important piece in Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc’s attacks this season.
Pham Van Huu – SHB Da Nang
The player born in 2001 is a quite interesting case as he was born and raised in Pleiku city of Gia Lai province but joined and made his mark in the youth team of Da Nang. After many times auditioning for HAGL’s youth system but being rejected, Pham Van Huu moved to the coastal city of Da Nang to pursue his dream of playing football.

Even though he is only 1m65 tall, Pham Van Huu is extremely dangerous in attack with his ability to choose positions and full physical strength. He, along with teammates such as Nguyen Phi Hoang, Luong Duy Cuong, … create an extremely potential young generation and will be even more successful in the future.
Nguyen Quang Huy – Ba Ria Vung Tau
In the list of Vietnam national team convocations in November 2023, there are 2 representatives from Ba Ria Vung Tau, Nguyen Quang Huy and Nguyen Thai Quoc Cuong. While Quoc Cuong is somewhat known to fans through his performances in HAGL youth groups as well as his quite famous “background” (as Cong Phuong’s cousin), Quang Huy is a rather “strange” name. .

However, “Ocean” fans are no strangers to Quang Huy’s performances on this team. Players born in 2004 can play well along the right wing, from fullback to winger. He is even trusted to carry the captain’s armband in a team of many young players of Ba Ria Vung Tau in the 2023/24 season.
