FIFA has brought great news to the million-dollar foreign player Percy Tau, the star currently playing for Nam Dinh FC, as he and the South African national team have officially secured a spot to return to the World Cup after 16 years.
Recently, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) published a congratulatory post for Percy Tau and the South African team after they officially qualified for the FIFA World Cup finals following a 16-year absence. This achievement marks a significant milestone for South African football and highlights the contributions of Percy Tau, the star competing in the V-League with Nam Dinh FC.
Percy Tau is currently valued at around 1 million Euros by Transfermarkt, reflecting the worth and caliber of a player who has competed in Europe. Before coming to Vietnam, Tau played for several well-known clubs such as Union SG, Club Brugge, Anderlecht (Belgium), and Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League.

Born in 1994, Percy Tau began his career at Mamelodi Sundowns, one of South Africa’s top clubs, where he quickly proved his talent and earned the nickname “South African Messi” due to his technical skills, speed, and refined ball control.
Wearing the national team jersey, Tau has appeared over 40 times, playing a key role in many important victories for the “Bafana Bafana.” Over nearly a decade, he has been regarded as one of Africa’s most outstanding attacking players, known for his smart playing style and rare endurance.
At Nam Dinh FC, Percy Tau quickly adapted and became one of the team’s brightest stars. In the V.League, AFC Champions League Two, and the ASEAN Club Championship, the South African star consistently demonstrates an aggressive, energetic playing style with a strong desire to contribute whenever he takes the field.
Percy Tau’s return to the World Cup with South Africa is not only a source of pride for African football but also a positive sign for Nam Dinh FC, which boasts a player with experience competing at the highest global level. With his extensive international background, Percy Tau is expected to continue shining in the V-League and help elevate the profile of Vietnamese football regionally.
