Having joined V.League since the 2021 season in the Binh Dinh club shirt, Hoang Hen quickly affirmed his class and became one of the most outstanding foreign players in the tournament.
The 2022 season marked a major turning point in the Brazilian midfielder's career when he contributed greatly to helping Binh Dinh win third place after 16 years. In the 2023-2024 season, he moved to Nam Dinh and continued to explode with 12 goals and 13 assists, contributing to taking the team to the South to win the V.League championship.
In total, after nearly 5 years of playing in Vietnam, Hoang Hen has scored 29 goals and 31 assists. As a versatile player with impressive form, he is expected to be a notable factor for the Vietnam national team if called up.
In the 2025-2026 season, Hoang Hen moved to Hanoi FC and has not played in the early stages of the season due to registering for domestic players and waiting to be naturalized. At this time, he can play right in the match against Ninh Binh in round 7 of V.League this weekend.
Despite having Vietnamese citizenship, midfielder Do Hoang Hen is still not eligible to play for the national team in 2025. The reason is that by December 2025, players born in 1994 will have only completed 5 years of living and working in Vietnam - a mandatory condition to be called up to the National Assembly Standing Committee under the naturalization status.
