CAHN receives a major boost ahead of the match against Malaysia

By clinching the pair of best player awards for November in the V.League, Hanoi Police Club is currently in an extremely positive mindset ahead of their tough away fixture in Malaysia.

The recent impressive form of Hanoi Police Club (CAHN) has been officially recognized through tangible statistics and honors.

Just before their crucial away match at Selangor’s stadium in Malaysia as part of the Shopee Cup 2025/26 group stage, the police-affiliated team received fantastic news from the V.League organizers. This is considered an invaluable morale booster, giving coach Mano Polking’s squad added confidence to conquer the regional competition.

Specifically, VPF announced the results of the November 2025 voting, with CAHN dominating the most important categories. Overcoming many strong contenders, the capital club was officially honored as the "Best Club of the Month."

Alongside the team’s success, Coach Alexandre Polking also received the "Best Coach of the Month" award. Securing this "double honor" is the result of an impressive journey, with the team decisively defeating several rivals such as Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City Police, PVF-CAND, Hong Linh Ha Tinh, and HAGL, with only a single draw against SLNA.

Under the guidance of the Brazilian-German strategist, CAHN has transformed to showcase a fiery attacking style while maintaining necessary pragmatism.

Coach Polking’s expertise is clearly demonstrated through his effective squad rotation and flexible player usage, enabling stars like goalkeeper Nguyen Filip and creative midfielder Quang Hai to consistently perform at their best. Currently, CAHN holds a solid second place in the V.League standings, just one point behind the leader Ninh Binh, with one game in hand.

Besides the joys in the capital, other individual awards for November have found worthy recipients. Midfielder Nguyen Hoang Duc (Ninh Binh) was voted "Best Player," while Nguyen Quoc Viet earned "Best Goal" for his 80th-minute strike against Hanoi FC.

These positive signs come at a time when the V.League is preparing to resume after a long break accommodating the national youth teams.

Most importantly, receiving recognition at this moment will provide a huge psychological boost for Dinh Bac and his teammates. Facing Selangor on Malaysian soil has never been an easy challenge, but as the best team of the month in the domestic league, Hanoi Police Club is fully entitled to feel confident about achieving a favorable result to reward their fans before returning to the V.League title race.
