Surprise with the latest scorer for Vietnam National Team at Hang Day Stadium

Vietnam National Team returns to compete at Hang Day Stadium after 3 years, and the top scorer for the "Golden Dragons" at this stadium is a very familiar name.

The friendly match between the Vietnam national team and Bangladesh during the FIFA Days in March 2026 will take place on the evening of March 26 at Hang Day Stadium. This marks a notable return of the national team to Hanoi's central stadium after more than three years of absence. The last time Vietnam played here was in December 2022, when under coach Park Hang-seo, the team secured a 1-0 victory over Philippines in an international friendly.

The sole goal scorer in that match was Van Quyet. However, this veteran forward parted from the national team two years later, despite maintaining stable performance. Van Quyet's international career left much regret, as he is regarded as one of the most outstanding domestic players in V-League history but did not truly leave many marks in the Vietnam national team jersey.

Choosing Hang Day Stadium for the match against Bangladesh is considered reasonable. With moderate capacity and not overly high organizational costs, this stadium suits the nature of a friendly match. Additionally, the more crucial match against Malaysia will occur a few days later at Thien Truong Stadium, so distributing match venues optimizes organization and attracts fan interest.

In terms of expertise, the encounter with Bangladesh holds significant importance as it helps the Vietnam national team regain the feeling of international competition after a period without concentration. This also provides an opportunity for the coaching staff to test tactics, review the squad, and evaluate player form before a critical phase.

Although not rated too highly, Bangladesh still has notable points with defensive midfielder Hamza Choudhury, a player competing in the English Championship. After completing naturalization procedures, he quickly became a pillar in the midfield, promising to pose considerable challenges for Vietnam's midfield.

After this friendly match concludes, the Vietnam national team will travel to Nam Dinh to prepare for the match against Malaysia on March 31 in the final round of Group F for the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers. This match is decisive for advancement opportunities, so the trial at Hang Day Stadium is not merely a friendly but also a crucial preparatory step for the team's major goal.
