On the afternoon of March 19, the Hanoi Police Club confirmed that Jason Quang Vinh has Vietnamese nationality. His Vietnamese name is Cao Pendant Quang Vinh, in which Cao is his mother's surname.
The player born in 1997 became a Vietnamese citizen right at the time the team was preparing to compete in the 3rd qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup at the end of March.
Quang Vinh can become a quality addition to the team when the left wing position has long been a difficult problem. After Doan Van Hau was injured and had to take a long break, no replacements like Van Khang, Minh Trong or Hong Duy have really done this role well.
The decision to call up the Vietnam national team at this time will depend on head coach Kim Sang-sik.
At the beginning of the year, the Korean coach shared: "If Jason Quang Vinh and Hendrio had Vietnamese nationality, I would have wanted to call them up to the national team.
Of course, to become a national player, both Quang Vinh and Hendrio must show love, dedication, and willingness to sacrifice for the Vietnam national team. If they can do it, I am ready to give them a chance.
For his part, Jason Quang Vinh always wants to become a Vietnamese citizen to contribute to Vietnamese sports. Wearing the shirt of Hanoi Police Club since the beginning of the 2024-2025 season, he quickly integrated and showed his talent.
Jason Pendant Quang Vinh was born in Sarcelles, France. He has a Martinican-French father and a Vietnamese mother.
After many years of playing in France and the US, Jason Quang Vinh came to Vietnam. This season, he started 15/16 matches for the Hanoi Police team in the V.League. except for 1 match when he was suspended.
