(Dan Tri) - Good news for the Vietnamese team when naturalized striker Nguyen Xuan Son is eligible to play in the AFF Cup 2024.
"Nguyen Xuan Son is eligible to play for the Vietnamese team in the AFF Cup 2024 from the match against the Myanmar team in the group stage on December 21. However, the condition is that this player must be called up to the national team by coach Kim Sang Sik in the final list," said a VFF leader.
The fact that Nguyen Xuan Son will be playing for the Vietnamese national team in the 2024 AFF Cup is really good news for coach Kim Sang Sik. The Korean strategist has recently been very eager to have the services of this naturalized striker.

In the 2023-2024 season, Xuan Son is the V-League's top scorer with 31 goals, accounting for more than 50% of Nam Dinh team's goals.
With Xuan Son, coach Kim Sang Sik is much more confident with the Vietnamese team's attack, in the context that the team's strikers have not reached their best form, while many young faces lack experience.
Regarding Xuan Son's possible participation in the Vietnam national team, coach Vu Hong Viet shared: "Xuan Son brings many tactical options to our attack. He is an important player, and being called up to the preliminary list of the Vietnam national team is a great motivation. Xuan Son always shows determination and desire to contribute to the national team."
At the AFF Cup 2024, the Vietnamese team is in Group B with opponents Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines and Myanmar. The first opponent of coach Kim Sang Sik and his team is Laos. This match will take place at 8:00 p.m. on December 9 on the away field. Before this match, the Korean strategist finalized the list of 26 players.
