Ninh Binh Club is one of the most active teams in the transfer market. As soon as they won a ticket to the top flight, the team in the ancient capital changed its strength strongly. In particular, they parted ways with coach Nguyen Viet Thang and replaced him with a Spanish strategist.
The Ninh Binh team will also use a few Spanish foreign players, along with striker Gustavo Henrique, who played for Hanoi Police in the 2023 season.
Regarding domestic players, new players in the V.League next season will recruit a series of famous names such as Chau Ngoc Quang, Tran Bao Toan, Nguyen Duc Chien... Along with the already existing old stars such as Nguyen Hoang Duc, Dang Van Lam... clearly, Ninh Binh's ambition in the next season will not stop at staying in the league.
defending champion Nam Dinh has also quickly strengthened its force for the upcoming season, by recruiting defender Dang Van Toi from Hai Phong and midfielder A Mit from Thanh Hoa. Next season, Nam Dinh will compete in 5 front lines, so they really need to build a thick, deep squad, with many stars to be able to compete well with each other.

After an unsuccessful season, The Cong Viettel, when ranked 4th in V.League and 3rd in the National Cup, will be determined to transform in the new season. They quickly recruited the top scorer from the previous season to strengthen their attack. For coach Velizar Popov, the 2025-2026 season will be very important as he has enough time to affirm his ability, helping the team compete fairly with opponents in the title race.
Hanoi FC won the runner-up position in the 2024-2025 season, however, that was not a successful season for them. Because this was the third consecutive season that Van Quyet and his teammates had no money. Therefore, the capital team will certainly strengthen their force by recruiting new stars, especially foreign players, to aim for higher results in the new season.
For some other teams, they have a lot of work to do towards a fierce upcoming season. The HCMC team must find a new coach to replace Mr. Phung Thanh Phuong, who left the team for reasons of degree. According to AFC regulations, from the next season until the season, coaches in V.League must have a Pro certificate.
Mr. Phung Thanh Phuong is very loved by the team's players and fans, having devoted all his heart and strength to leading the Ho Chi Minh City team to successfully stay in the league, despite facing many difficulties. Most likely, the Thong Nhat Stadium team will choose a coach to lead the team.
Hoang Anh Gia Lai is one of the teams with the strongest changes in personnel, when many key players said goodbye to the team such as Minh Vuong, Chau Ngoc Quang, Tran Bao Toan, Dung Quang Nho... In the opposite direction, they will welcome some players back after their loan terms have expired. However, with the current force, the team from the Mountain City must recruit a number of good players to be able to stay strong in the upcoming season.
Hong Linh Ha Tinh will also face many challenges in the 2025-2026 season, when coach Nguyen Thanh Cong resigns for personal reasons. In addition, they also parted ways with a series of players such as Luong Xuan Truong, Tran Dinh Tien, Vu Viet Trieu, Dang Van Tram...
V.League 2025-2026 season will take place from August 15, 2025 and is expected to end on June 18, 2026. Each team participating in the V.League will be allowed to register 4 foreign players in the squad. Unlike last season, the upcoming season will have two relegated teams.
The First Division will take place from September 19, 2025 to June 17, 2026, and the National Cup from September 13, 2025 to June 25, 2026. Previously, on August 9, 2025, the Super Cup match between Nam Dinh and Hanoi Police will take place.
