The Xuân Son family is busy preparing for the Lunar New Year 2026.

Forward Xuân Son and his family are actively getting ready for the 2026 Lunar New Year celebration in Vietnam.

In the days leading up to the 2026 Lunar New Year, forward Nguyễn Xuân Son along with his wife are busily decorating their home to welcome the new year. On his personal page, the naturalized Vietnamese footballer shared a series of photos showing him hanging traditional New Year couplets by hand, hoping for a lucky, prosperous, and joyful year ahead.

The wife of the naturalized forward expressed: "Here, we decorate the house and clean up to get rid of old things. We also prepare traditional dishes; it is a culturally meaningful holiday. I think it’s wonderful. For example, my children at school have learned about the country’s customs; they were taught how to prepare special dishes, take photos, and truly live according to tradition. I really love all of this!"

This is the second year Xuân Son celebrates the Lunar New Year with his family as a Vietnamese citizen. At the end of 2024, he completed naturalization after living and playing here for five years, becoming a key contributor to the Vietnamese team’s AFF Cup 2024 victory.

After recovering from an injury, Xuân Son officially returned to play for the Vietnam national team and Nam Định club since late November. After 6 appearances, he has scored 8 goals. In the upcoming rematch against Malaysia in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, Xuân Son is the top hope for Vietnam’s attacking line.
