"The current team name is still Nam Dinh Blue Steel . The club is urgently preparing personnel and training plans to prepare for the 2025/26 season in which we will compete in 5 arenas: AFC Champions League Two, Southeast Asian Club Cup, Vietnam Super Cup, V-League and National Cup.

The team currently has no plans or any activities or documents related to changing the name. Information about changing the team's name is completely inaccurate and causes confusion," Nam Dinh Steel Club announced.

Previously, there was some information about Nam Dinh Green Steel Club changing its name to Ninh Binh Green Steel from the 2025/26 season.

But with its announcement, Nam Dinh Green Steel affirmed that the team will not change its name, and is even investing heavily in its personnel as well as preparing plans for the new season. In the immediate future, the Thien Truong Stadium team will sign contract extensions with a series of key players, and at the same time buy two new players, Van Toi from Hai Phong and A Mit from Thanh Hoa.

In the 2025/26 season, Nam Dinh Blue Steel will welcome the return of Nguyen Xuan Son. In addition to defending the V-League championship, coach Vu Hong Viet and his team are determined to advance in the Southeast Asian Club Cup and AFC Champions League Two (Asian Cup C2). Another representative of Vietnam participating in the continental arena is CAHN - the team that just won the National Cup.
