Right after winning the 2025-2026 National Cup runner-up position, Song Lam Nghe An club announced the parting ways between two foreign players, Benjamin Kuku and Zaracho Espinola.
This is considered a reasonable decision by the Vinh home team, because these two players only meet basic professional standards, and cannot help improve the team's attack and defense.
In the coming time, Song Lam Nghe An coaching staff will urgently look for replacement foreign players because the new season will start early in mid-August.
Many sources said that they will recruit their former player Gustavo Santos from Thanh Hoa but have not yet made a specific announcement.
On the other hand, Song Lam Nghe An successfully extended the contract with striker Olaha. The striker born in 1996 has been the main scorer of the team for many seasons. Olaha's bright spots in playing style are mobility, intelligence and speed.
Although she won the National Cup runner-up position, Song Lam Nghe An struggled in the V.League arena. It was not until the final round that coach Phan Nhu Thuat and his team were able to successfully stay in the league.
The squad of young players does not have much competition experience, often making mistakes that make it difficult for the Nghe An team. Therefore, Song Lam Nghe An is forced to make reasonable adjustments to prepare carefully for the new season.
The good news for Nghe An fans is that two veterans Ho Khac Ngoc and Hoang Van Khanh continue to stick with the team. They will be the leader of Song Lam Nghe An in the upcoming tournaments.
