Naturalized player Hoàng Hên: 'I feel very proud to vote for the first time'

Midfielder Hendrio Araujo da Silva, after acquiring Vietnamese citizenship and taking the name Đỗ Hoàng Hên, will for the first time have the chance to vote. This brings a very unique sensation to the athlete.

"Hên is very proud to be a Vietnamese citizen and to have the first chance to vote in the National Assembly election in Vietnam. Hên knows this is a significant event for the country and will strive to make accurate choices.

Hên does not yet know if he will be called up to the Vietnamese national team; at present, he is only focused on playing today's match against SLNA.

Hên is fully focused on playing for Hanoi FC and is awaiting the official announcement of the Vietnamese national team's roster for the FIFA Days period.

Hên is very happy that the Vietnamese national team will have many good players. Hên knows he will also have the chance to play alongside them," Hoàng Hên shared after Hanoi FC defeated SLNA in the Round 16 of the LPBank V-League 2025/26 at Hàng Đẫy Stadium last night, March 13.

In this match, Hoàng Hên delivered a classy assist, allowing Fisher to comfortably jump high and head the ball to open the scoring in the 68th minute for Hanoi FC.

This result keeps Hanoi FC within the top 4, still having a chance to compete for the championship, currently with 28 points, trailing CAHN by 7 points.

At the post-match press conference, Hanoi FC coach Harry Kewell stated: "I give the players the opportunity to be creative, and what I liked most today is that they never gave up. Hoàng Hên's cross for Fisher's first goal was truly a masterpiece, and from there, we played even better.

When asked about the list of Hanoi FC players called up to the Vietnamese national team for the FIFA Days in March, coach Harry Kewell said: "We can only be certain when the VFF announces the official list after this round, because in football, injuries can happen at any time."

Tomorrow, March 15, joining the nationwide atmosphere, Hoàng Hên will accompany the Hanoi FC players to vote for delegates of the 16th National Assembly and delegates of People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term.
