According to information from Tri Thuc - Znews , Do Hoang Hen will officially receive the decision to naturalize as a Vietnamese citizen on October 17, ending the naturalization process very smoothly.

One day later, Hanoi will host Ninh Binh in round 7 of the 2025/26 V.League. If he meets the tactical requirements of coach Harry Kewell, the Brazilian striker can make his debut in the capital's fans in this match. This is also the debut day of the new Australian coach in the V.League.

Although he can play in the V.League right away, for the Vietnam national team, Do Hoang Hen will have to wait until the return match between Vietnam and Malaysia in March next year, if he is called up by coach Kim Sang-sik. The reason is that he will not be able to live and work in Vietnam for 5 years until December this year according to naturalization regulations.

Do Hoang Hen joined Hanoi before the 2025/26 season. He was supported by the capital team with the procedures to become a naturalized player. During the time waiting for the opportunity to play, he worked hard to maintain his ball sense.

At the same time, over the past 2 years, the midfielder born in 1994 has been diligently studying Vietnamese to be able to communicate with his teammates. In interviews with the media, Hoang Hen always expressed his desire to contribute to the "Golden Star Warriors".

The presence of Hoang Hen in the squad will be an important piece for both Hanoi and the Vietnam national team. He is considered a creative, technical and versatile player. Hoang Hen can play in positions such as attacking midfielder, winger or striker.
