The trend of overseas Vietnamese players from Europe to V.League, hoping to have Vietnamese nationality to play for the “Golden Star Warrior” becomes more and more popular. Nguyen Filip and Cao Pendant Quang Vinh are typical evidence. With Filip, he broke up with Slovan Liberec to go to the Hanoi Police in the summer of 2023. A year later, Cao Pendant Quang Vinh also left Ligue 2 (France) to come to Vietnam, joining the representative of the police industry. Up to now, Nguyen Filip has become a national player. While Cao Pendant Quang Vinh also has nationality and width to the Vietnam national team in the near future.
Recently, it was reported that the original overseas Vietnamese defender Ireland Brandon Ly was also in the process of negotiating with a few clubs in Vietnam and was ready to return to V.League to play football since the 2025/26 season.
Sharing with football, the player is playing for the U21 Burnley team (the team will promote the Premier League this season) expressed his desire to return to Vietnam to play in V.League in the near future. The 19 -year -old defender also left the story of playing football for his father’s homeland.
He suggested to the football reporter: “Of course, I want to return to my father’s hometown to play in the future. I also watched the V.League.” Regarding negotiations with a club of Vietnam, Brandon Ly has not yet revealed because it is still in the first part of the negotiation.
When asked about the ability to play in Vietnam in the future, Brandon Hoi cheerfully said: “Half of my blood is Vietnam. I know Vietnam through my father. I am inspired from there. Hopefully someday, I can play for Vietnam Tel and the team to achieve success in the international arena.”
Brandon Ly emphasized that he watched the Vietnam Tel’s championship journey. This cherished player can join Vietnam Tel to attend the World Cup. “I have seen the full matches of Vietnam Tel in the AFF Cup. In the future, I really want to be part of this collective. Hopefully one day, I can wear Vietnam Tel, in a big arena like the World Cup. Surely, that will make my father proud.”
Brandon Ly has a Vietnamese father, his mother is an Irish. This player has returned to Vietnam for a few occasions. Brandon Ly has never played for the Irish national team. That means, the opportunity for the Vietnamese team to have the service of Brandon Ly in the near future is entirely possible. It would be easier if the 19 -year -old defender decided to return to the V.League playground.
