Devote the best part of youth to the TNSV award

Since the launch of the TNSV VN tournament in 2023, the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology team has participated in the competition and has been considered a capable team. In the first season, Nguyen Minh Tri, then a second-year student (studying English Language), was trusted by the coaching staff to be the captain. Minh Tri immediately demonstrated his ability from the first matches. The student majored in English, which has nothing to do with football, but possesses a good technical foundation, has the ability to dribble skillfully and often has smart passes to help his teammates score. In the second season - 2024, Minh Tri continued to impress, especially scoring beautiful goals from free kicks. However, in the first two seasons, talented midfielder Nguyen Minh Tri and his teammates were not lucky enough to pass the qualifying round in the Ho Chi Minh City area.

The efforts of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology team were rewarded when they entered the final round of the TNSV THACO cup 2025. Nguyen Minh Tri shared: "It was really a pity that the team had to stop at the second qualifying round last season. Finally, we got to play in the final round. I have waited for this day for a long time." And in the first time stepping on the football field of Ton Duc Thang University in the final round, the desire to prove themselves of the players of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology team became even stronger. Among them, Nguyen Minh Tri once again became the main character in the exciting matches that Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology brought to the fans. Up to now, the 23-year-old midfielder is the only one to win the title of "Best player of the match" in the final round twice in a row. After 2 matches, Minh Tri contributed 1 goal and created many opportunities for his teammates. But more importantly, the English Language student also plays the role of leader leading the gameplay of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology team.

Currently, the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology team is still undefeated, with 4 points after 2 matches in Group C. The team led by coach Nguyen Quoc Nam is very close to the ticket to the quarter-finals. Minh Tri said that what creates the strength of the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology team is the cohesion. Regarding the possibility of entering the round for the 8 strongest teams, the 23-year-old midfielder expressed: "I am truly honored and happy to be able to compete with my teammates in the final round of such a large-scale, professional football tournament in my final year of university life. We will strive every day to help the team become even better. The results cannot be predicted yet, but the Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology team always aims to bring dedicated and beautiful matches. It can be said that I have devoted the best time of my youth to this student football tournament, having played in 3 seasons. Therefore, I will fight my best while I am still on the field, so that no matter what the result is, I will have no regrets."
