The U23 Vietnam team pays tribute to Coach Đinh Hồng Vinh at the beginning of spring.

Before the 2026 Lunar New Year, the U23 Vietnam squad gave a modest present to Coach Đinh Hồng Vinh.

In the days leading up to the Bính Ngọ New Year 2026, the collective U23 Vietnam made a meaningful gesture by jointly offering a Tet gift to Coach Đinh Hồng Vinh – the quiet assistant who has been devotedly supporting the team throughout 2025.

Coach Đinh Hồng Vinh is one of the key aides to head coach Kim Sang Sik of U23 Vietnam. During many training camps, especially trips to China, he was entrusted as interim coach, directly managing training sessions and leading the team in friendly matches. His calm demeanor, approachability, and solid expertise have earned him great respect from the young players.

On his personal page, Coach Đinh Hồng Vinh expressed his happiness upon receiving a meaningful gift from his players. “During the Tet holiday, receiving a small but heartfelt gift from the U23 Vietnam boys,” Coach Đinh Hồng Vinhshared.

Conversely, the gift from the U23 team once again highlights the cherished cultural value of “respecting teachers and honoring the way” preserved within Vietnam’s youth teams. For many players, Coach Đinh Hồng Vinh is not only a tactical guide but also a spiritual support, often listening and encouraging them during challenging phases of their careers.

In the context of modern football increasingly emphasizing professionalism, U23 Vietnam’s story still carries strong traditional values. The bond between coach and players not only fosters a positive atmosphere within the team but also serves as a crucial foundation for young athletes’ growth, both professionally and personally.
