On the afternoon of June 22, Binh Dinh club lost 2-4 to Hanoi FC at home. This defeat caused the team from the land of martial arts to regret being relegated because they were at the bottom of the table. This result is not surprising after what the team has shown since the beginning of the tournament, but it still makes many fans sad.
Binh Dinh returned to V.League from the 2021 season, after 12 years of absence from this tournament. With the support of 2 major sponsors, the team from the land of martial arts was committed to a sponsorship package of 300 billion VND/3 years, with great expectations.
With strong financial resources, Binh Dinh has become an attractive destination for many stars such as Rafaelson (later naturalized as Nguyen Xuan Son), Hendrio, Rimario, Duong Thanh Hao, Dang Van Lam, Tran Dinh Trong, Do Thanh Thinh, Ha Duc Chinh, Le Ngoc Bao...
Under coach Nguyen Duc Thang, Binh Dinh has become a very difficult team. However, the team's achievements are not as expected when the team is only ranked 3rd in V.League 2022; runner-up of the 2022 National Cup, 3rd place in 2023.
With hundreds of billions spent, Binh Dinh could not win the championship as expected. They do not have a solid foundation like some other teams. Due to economic difficulties, for more than 2 years now, the Quy Nhon home team has faced many problems such as the sponsor once wanted to return the team to the province, coach Nguyen Duc Thang left the team, many stars also found a new destination.
With that situation, Binh Dinh surprised everyone when they finished second in the 2023-2024 V.League under the leadership of coach Bui Doan Quang Huy. This strategist has promoted the spirit of solidarity, successfully using the striker pair Alan and Leo Artur... to bring home the best result since the team was promoted.
But after the fun, Binh Dinh has faced a difficult problem since the beginning of the 2024-2025 season. More than 15 players have parted ways with the team due to financial difficulties. These are all important members of the team. Although they have brought in many new players, these members cannot completely replace those who left the team.
Since the beginning of the season, Binh Dinh has been predicted to face the problem of staying in the league. The team's leadership and coaching staff did their best but "they were helpless". From being 5 points ahead of Da Nang, Binh Dinh has not won in the last 6 matches, thereby being relegated, 4 points behind Da Nang.
The home team at Quy Nhon Stadium can only blame themselves for losing to Da Nang in both matches. The quality of their squad is much lower than their opponents, making it impossible for Binh Dinh to defend their position.
The relegation less than 5 years after being promoted is a heartbreaking ending for Binh Dinh football fans. And without clear orientations and investment in foundation, their return to V.League will be a long way off...
