Individual titles go to Alan Grafite and Hoang Duc

The V-League Award ceremony took place on the afternoon of July 1 and found worthy winners for a series of award categories in the Vietnamese professional football system. Stars such as Nguyen Hoang Duc ( Ninh Binh Club), Alan Grafite (CAHN Club)... were all named.

The most honorable category "Best Player of V-League" belongs to Alan Grafite of CAHN Club. The Brazilian striker had an impressive season with 14 goals, helping CAHN Club accelerate spectacularly to win the V-League bronze medal.

In his first season at CAHN, Alan Grafite and Leo Artur (both from Binh Dinh) formed a formidable "double-barreled gun". Although injury prevented Alan Grafite from playing the entire season (missing 6 V-League matches), the Brazilian striker still played impressively with an efficiency of 0.78 goals/match in V-League.

At the ASEAN Club Championship, Alan Grafite also played steadily with 6 goals, contributing to helping CAHN Club win the runner-up position. In the National Cup, the hat-trick of the Brazilian foreign player in the final helped CAHN Club defeat SLNA with a score of 5-0 to win the championship.

The title of best player of the season in the first division (V-League 2) belongs to Hoang Duc . The midfielder born in 1998 and Ninh Binh Club dominated the first division with 19 wins and 1 draw. Hoang Duc scored 3 goals, assisted 2 goals, and became the soul in the way the ancient capital team operated.

Hoang Duc's contribution is not only great in terms of expertise, but the presence of the player who has won 2 Golden Balls in the past 4 years is a testament to the ambition and strength of Ninh Binh Club. The ancient capital team continuously brings in stars like Hoang Duc and Van Lam to strengthen the squad and dominate the first division with a record score (58/60 maximum points).

This title promises to be a springboard for Ninh Binh Club and Hoang Duc to fly high in V-League next season.

The title of best young player in V-League belongs to Le Van Thuan ( Thanh Hoa Club). The player born in 2006 has scored 2 goals in 15 matches this season in V-League. Van Thuan and Nguyen Ngoc My are young talents that coach Velizar Popov has created conditions to compete to gain experience early. Although they did not win the title this season, it is clear that Thanh Hoa Club is the "nursery" of many talented young stars.

Another "nursery" that also has a young player winning the title of best player in the first division is PVF-CAND with player Nguyen Hieu Minh. The 1.84 m tall center back has proven his ability when playing regularly this season. Hieu Minh, along with Le Van Ha ( Hanoi Club), Pham Ly Duc (HAGL) and Nguyen Nhat Minh (Hai Phong Club), form a promising defense for U.23 Vietnam.
