MINH PHONG |

Center back Pham Ly Duc is the name that received the attention of fans after the victory of U22 Vietnam at the 33rd SEA Games.

Pham Ly Duc is one of the pillars in the U22 Vietnam squad that won the gold medal at the 33rd SEA Games. He also contributed to the home team's 3-2 victory over Thailand U22 in the final.

In the group stage and semi-final matches, the solidity of this central defender helped the U22 Vietnam defense neutralize the opponent's attacks.

Previously, he was called up to the national team by Mr. Kim Sang-sik in the match against Laos in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Ly Duc was born in 2003, from Tay Ninh, currently 1m82 tall - and is in the group of midfielders with good physique of the Vietnam national team. His name arouses curiosity when it overlaps with a famous bodybuelder of the past.

Ly Duc once shared that his family named him with the wish he was healthy and persistent. In fact, he did not stand out physically when he was young, but only "transformed" thanks to living discipline, nutrition and serious exercise awareness for a long time.

Ly Duc's career turned a new direction in the 2024-2025 season. From a player competing in the First Division for Ba Ria - Vung Tau, he made a strong impression in the 2024 National U21 Finals, contributing to helping U21 Hoang Anh Gia Lai win the championship. Since then, Ly Duc has been promoted to the HAGL first team and quickly became a pillar of the defense.

In V.League 2024-2025, Ly Duc played all 15 matches, playing 1,350 minutes, scoring 1 goal and providing 1 assist. He is highly appreciated for his ability to read situations, fight solidly and his stable performance.

In the 2025-2026 season, Ly Duc moved to the Hanoi Police shirt with a transfer value of 125,000 euros, marking a big step forward in his career.
