After winning the 2024 ASEAN Cup with the Vietnamese team, midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc had a number of meaningful activities in his hometown of Hai Duong.

Immediately after returning home from Thailand, the player number 14 of the Vietnamese team was quite busy participating in many activities organized by the Vietnam Football Federation in coordination with other organizations.
This midfielder went with his parents to receive a new house in My Dinh (Hanoi)... However, he still took time to visit friends and relatives and had some small-scale exchange activities with young fans in Hai Duong City.

Unlike many of his teammates in the Vietnam national team who returned home in a festive atmosphere, midfielder Hoang Duc returned to Hai Duong in a rather discreet manner.

According to the reporter's investigation, on January 8, after meeting and receiving good wishes from relatives and neighbors at his home on Hong Chau Street (Hai Duong City), Hoang Duc went to his sportswear store at 558 Nguyen Van Linh Street. Here, he happily signed jerseys for some fans. Hoang Duc only stayed here for a short time so not many people knew.

In the evening of the same day, at Hai Duong City Stadium, the number 14 player of the Vietnam national team interacted with dozens of students of Hoang Duc 14 Football Center. This is also the center that he and some of his close childhood friends devoted themselves to building. The young players and some of their parents were surprised by his appearance.

“I was completely surprised by Hoang Duc’s appearance. He was friendly and happily playing around with my child and dozens of other children. My son was also very excited to have his first photo taken with his idol,” Ms. Cao Thuy Quynh in Hai Tan ward (Hai Duong city) excitedly said.

On the evening of January 8, Hoang Duc quickly took a flight to Ho Chi Minh City and then traveled to Ba Ria - Vung Tau to prepare with Phu Dong Ninh Binh Club to meet host Ba Ria - Vung Tau at the National Cup on January 12.

At the ASEAN Cup 2024, Hoang Duc is a very important link in coach Kim Sang Sik's tactical scheme. The player who won the "Golden Ball 2023" title has shown a technical and creative playing style, holding the ball firmly, connecting well with teammates and often making decisive passes to open up "scoring" opportunities for the Vietnamese team.

The most typical example was in the second leg of the semi-final against the Singapore team at Viet Tri Stadium on December 29, 2024. In the 62nd minute, from the left wing, Hoang Duc had a classy dribble, passing 3 defenders of the opposing team before passing to naturalized striker Nguyen Xuan Son to raise the score to 2-0.

Although he did not score at the ASEAN Cup 2024, Hoang Duc is still loved by domestic fans. "If we ignore the goal factor, I think Hoang Duc is the best player of the Vietnamese team. He deserves to be the team's midfield boss at the moment," Nguyen Minh Ha (in Quang Ninh) commented on his personal fanpage, which was agreed by many people.

Midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc (born in 1998, in Hai Duong City), grew up from the training center of Hai Duong Province Sports Training, Coaching and Competition. He played for many years for Viettel Football Club before joining Phu Dong Ninh Binh in the national first division in the 2024-2025 season.
