HAGL is constantly rejuvenating
The HAGL squad in the V-League in the 2024-2025 season is inherently younger, now younger. The Nui Pho team decided to summon 4 young players playing at Long An Club on a loan of defender Dinh Quang Kiet (born in 2007, 1.95 m high), striker Nguyen Minh Tam (born in the year 2005, 1.8 m high), the Midfielder Se (born in 2005, 1.7 m high) and striker Hoang Minh Tien (born in 2005, 1.78 m high). All are the U.21 national finals 2024. 4 players will have the opportunity to play in the V-League for the rest of the season.
If coach Le Quang Trai gives the opportunity to play well and perform well, Minh Tien can be summoned by coach Kim Sang-Sik to the U.22 Vietnam team
Thus, up to the present time, HAGL has 17 players born after 2000, notably the striker Tran Gia Bao, born in 2008, who also scored a goal in the V-League. In addition to the foreign soldiers, the players born before 2000 were only Le Van Son, A Hoang, Chau Ngoc Quang, Tran Minh Vuong, Phan Dinh Vu Hai, Nguyen Huu Anh Tai.
It can be said that after the “golden generation” of Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong, Van Toan, Van Thanh, Hong Duy … HAGL almost completely changed, both in personnel and style of playing football. The mountain town team has almost no stars, not playing beautiful, but the positive point is that they are creating many opportunities for young players, which is beneficial for Vietnamese football.

Pay attention to Hoang Minh Tien
In the group of 4 newly supplemented players, striker Hoang Minh Tien is a prominent face. He grew up from HAGL’s training furnace, regularly participating in Vietnamese youth team levels such as U.17, U.19, U.20. Notably, during the training trip with the U.17 Vietnam team in Germany in early 2022, Minh Tien performed extremely impressive. He and midfielder Nguyen Manh Hung (Viettel Club) are highly appreciated by German experts and given the opportunity to stay in intensive training for a week at Eintracht Frankfurt Club.

After that, Minh Tien was constantly improving the young tournament, and then played for Kon Tum club to play in the national third division. He was named by coach Hoang Anh Tuan Dien in the list of U.20 Asia 2023 finals, playing quite well in U.23 Asian qualifiers 2025. He shows the potential to become a leading striker of Vietnamese football Male in the future. And before being entered by the Department of Economic Director Vu Tien Thanh and coach Le Quang Trai, the name of the V-League 2024-2025, he was also done by coach Kiatisak Senamuang in the 2023 season.
Minh Tien is rich in potential, but it is important now that the striker born in 2005 must try his best to be able to be given the opportunity to play at HAGL. Since then, coach Kim Sang-Sik has a basis to assess the capacity and call him on the U.22 Vietnam team to prepare for the 33 SEA Games.
