On March 14, the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) updated information about the removal of 2 transfer bans for Dong A Thanh Hoa club. The decision was made after this team completed financial obligations related to previous complaints.
According to research, the Thanh Hoa team has fully settled the payments with 4 players related to previous disputes. In addition, the remaining players also sent a written confirmation to FIFA that they have received all the money according to the agreement. These documents are the basis for the world football governing body to consider and lift the ban on the team.
Although the dismissal information has been announced, FIFA still needs more time to re-examine the entire dossier and related procedures. This verification process is to ensure that financial obligations have been fulfilled in accordance with regulations before officially allowing Dong A Thanh Hoa to register new players.
In the context that the V.League transfer window will close at 11:59 PM on March 17, Thanh Hoa is urgently completing the necessary steps to register a new force in time. The coaching staff has prepared a list of new players and is ready to complete procedures as soon as they receive the final confirmation from FIFA.
Initially, coach Mai Xuan Hop plans to register 4 new players, including young striker Le Van Hoan - a player born in 2008 who is considered one of the talents of the local training system; Le Van Hung - who used to wear the U19 Vietnam team jersey; Nguyen Huu Dung - former national team player.
Foreign player Amar Catic is also ready to play if he completes the registration procedures. He grew up from PSV Eindhoven's youth training system and used to play with Cody Gakpo when he was in the Netherlands. This player is expected to strengthen Thanh Hoa's attack in the next stage of the season.
In addition to the above cases, Dong A Thanh Hoa continues to add two other players including defender Truong Thanh Nam and Belli - Nicaraguan national team player. The team is also considering the option of recruiting another player from the Vietnam U23 team before the transfer window ends.
Since the V.League returned after a break, Thanh Hoa has played with a force with many changes due to the impact of the transfer ban and the separation of some key players.
After the last 6 matches, the team has won 5 points and is ranked 12th in the standings. The coaching staff expects the addition of forces to help the team improve their position in the next phase of the season.
