Nam Dinh FC owns a squad of high-class foreign players

Nam Dinh FC has had an unstable performance in the V-League this season but has improved in the international arena. After 2 matches in the group stage of AFC Champions League Two 2025-2026, the team from the South won all matches, had the same 6 points as Gamba Osaka but temporarily ranked 2nd because of the lower secondary index.

Speaking at the press conference before the match, coach Vu Hong Viet affirmed that Nam Dinh Club will try to create a surprise in the away match at Gamba Osaka Stadium in the third round of the group stage of AFC Champions League Two 2025-2026.

Coach Vu Hong Viet

Coach Vu Hong Viet shared: “This is an important match because both teams are competing for the top spot with two previous victories. I am very impressed with Gamba Osaka’s midfield – they have two extremely high-quality central midfielders. In addition, their domestic striker wearing the number 7 shirt is also very dangerous. Those are the names that we need to pay special attention to in this match.”

However, we have a little experience as we faced Hiroshima last season. It will not be easy but the whole Nam Dinh team is determined to play their best in tomorrow's match."

Previously, Nam Dinh FC had a favorable start when they defeated Ratchaburi (Thailand) 3-1 at home and defeated host Eastern FC (Hong Kong - China) 1-0.
