List of Vietnam international footballers born outside Vietnam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of footballers who represented the Vietnam national football team or eligible to play for Vietnam in international football and were born outside Vietnam.

The following players:

  1. have one parent or grandparent who was born in Vietnam.
  2. were born outside Vietnam or were born in Vietnam but went abroad since during their childhood.

This list includes players who have dual citizenship with Vietnam and/or have become naturalized Vietnamese citizens. The players are ordered per modern-day country of birth; if the country at the time of birth differs from the current, this is indicated with a subsection.

List of international players

[edit]

Từ Như Hiển was one of the first footballer born outside Vietnam to represent the latter. Born in New Caledonia, Hiển repartriated in 1963 and made his debut for North Vietnam national team in 1965 and played for the team until the 1970s.[1][2] However, since North Vietnam wasn't a member of FIFA and the AFC at the time, Hiển's records with the team weren't officially recognized by these organisations.

Since the reunified Vietnam national football team rejoined the international stage in 1991, the players born abroad with Vietnamese heritage, referred as the Việt kiều were always considered as an important part of team as many of them were formed in countries where football is more developed than in Vietnam. The most notable players are Russian-born goalkeeper Đặng Văn Lâm, who contributed in Vietnam's successful 2018 AFF Championship and 2019 AFC Asian Cup campaign; and goalkeeper Nguyễn Filip, who started for Vietnam at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.[3][4][5] During a short period between 2008 and 2009, the Vietnam Football Federation allowed naturalized players without Vietnamese heritage to represent the country but reverted this decision shortly after, in order to "preserve national identity" in the team.[6][7][8]

The list below includes players who represented the Vietnam national football team but were not born in the country, or were born in the country but spent most of their childhood abroad. These players can have dual citizenship with Vietnam and/or have become naturalised Vietnamese citizens. The players are ordered per their national team debut.
