Vietnam's national team is set to gain significant benefits from CAHN's latest decision.

Hanoi Police FC is contributing up to 6 players to the Vietnamese national team for the 2026 ASEAN Cup, while the club itself is also preparing to compete in the AFC Champions League Elite.

Hanoi Police FC continues to solidify its status as one of the most resource-rich clubs in Vietnam by contributing up to 6 players to the national team for the 2026 ASEAN Cup. The called-up players include Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Doan Van Hau, Nguyen Quang Hai, Le Pham Thanh Long, Le Van Do, and Nguyen Dinh Bac, forming a crucial core for the squad under coach Kim Sang Sik.

The fact that CAHN is contributing such a large number of national team players comes at a time when the police club is preparing to enter the AFC Champions League Elite 2026/27 playoff.Vietnam's representative will face Adelaide United in Australia on August 11, a decisive match for the opportunity to participate in Asia's most prestigious club competition.

The timing coincidence between CAHN's continental campaign and the Vietnamese national team's journey in the 2026 ASEAN Cup initially raised concerns about potential player shortages. However, the actual match schedule shows no direct conflict between the two tournaments. The ASEAN Cup group stage is expected to conclude by August 7, allowing CAHN's national team players to fulfill their national duties before returning to serve their club.

Given this situation, the VFF has proactively coordinated with Hanoi Police FC to develop the most suitable plan for calling up and utilizing players. The goal for all parties is to protect the club's interests while helping the Vietnamese national team maintain its strongest squad in its quest to defend the regional championship.

Nevertheless, the issue of fitness remains a significant challenge. Key players like Quang Hai, Van Hau, and Viet Anh will likely have to travel and compete intensively for both club and country. This requires the coaching staff to implement a reasonable rotation plan to ensure the players are in peak condition during the decisive phase.

CAHN's willingness to share 6 players with the Vietnamese national team not only highlights the squad depth of the V.League champions but also demonstrates a spirit of unity with the national cause. The close collaboration between the VFF, the national team, and the club is expected to help Vietnamese football achieve success in both regional and Asian arenas in 2026.
