Right from the time of renewing his contract with Hanoi Club a few months ago, Pham Tuan Hai quickly mentioned the phrase “going abroad”. In the last two seasons, he is a rare person to leave his mark in the continental arena.
The striker born in 1998 continuously scored for the Vietnamese team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Asia, helping Hanoi FC win the match in the AFC Champions League.
Early spring of At Ty 2025, Tuan Hai revealed: "During the past time, Hanoi club helped me a lot in finding a football team abroad. I hope I will be able to fulfill my wish once.
The ASEAN Cup championship has proven that Vietnamese football is coming back. My teammates and I have more confidence. In the immediate future, in 2025, I will try to play well for Hanoi and try to play abroad."
The first factor that determines the success or failure of a Vietnamese player when going abroad is the mindset towards the ocean. Pham Tuan Hai has a high determination, truly eager to test himself. This is not something that every player can do. At least, even if he does not succeed as expected, he still brings a positive aspect.
Tuan Hai really has to step out of his comfort zone. At Hanoi Club, he is still a bright star, his influence is only inferior to Van Quyet - who is taking the final steps in his career. Money, position and the love of fans are all things Tuan Hai has available.
But taking risks requires specific calculations. The striker born in 1998 is considering many options from many different tournaments. Thailand, Korea, Japan or Europe, the prerequisite factor is suitability. The 2023 Vietnam Silver Ball should not rush to dream of big teams, but choose a place where you can demonstrate your ability.
In addition, Pham Tuan Hai himself has prepared carefully. He continues to study foreign languages even during the time he is with the national team.
It is not clear exactly when this striker will leave Hanoi club. However, believe that the eagerness of a star and careful selection will make a difference.
