Ahead of the 2025-2026 season, V.League faces many difficulties when Quang Nam club suddenly withdraws.
The runner-up team of the National First Division - Truong Tuoi Dong Nai (formerly Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc) also refused a promotion spot. In that context, PVF-CAND club has officially accepted to participate, thereby ensuring the number of teams for the new season.
The PVF-CAND club's agreement to play in V.League 2025-2026 helps the organizing committee solve the difficulties if only the remaining 13 teams participate in the tournament.
To create conditions for Hung Yen team to have the best preparation time for the new season, the organizing committee has postponed the player registration deadline to August 7. However, according to the latest information, PVF-CAND has proposed postponing the list closing date to August 10.
PVF-CAND is one of the teams that have achieved good results in the National First Division in recent seasons. In 2023, Thanh Nhan and his teammates finished the tournament in 2nd place, equal on points with the leader Quang Nam, who were inferior in the secondary index.
In the 2023-2024 season, PVF-CAND under the leadership of coach Mauro Jeronimo had to regrettably suffer a regrettable defeat against Hong Linh Ha Tinh in the play-off match for promotion tickets.
Recently, they finished the 2024-2025 season in 3rd place and did not participate in the play-off. However, Quang Nam's withdrawal from the tournament helps the Police team have the opportunity to participate in the highest playground of Vietnamese professional football.
Possessing a squad of quality young players such as Thanh Nhan, Hieu Minh, Xuan Bac... PVF-CAND is still actively adding some experienced names to prepare for the new season.
Goalkeeper Do Sy Huy and midfielder Thai Quy have officially joined the team. In addition, Van Thuan from Ninh Binh FC, striker Hoang Vu Samson and some overseas Vietnamese players are likely to join the team in the next few days.
