Night Wolf V.League 1 – 2023/2024 Team of the season

On the afternoon of July 9, the V-League Awards ceremony took place, celebrating the standout teams and individuals from the 2023-2024 season. With their V-League championship, Nam Dinh FC swept several major individual accolades, including awards for head coach Vu Hong Viet and star striker Rafaelson.

Rafaelson Shines Bright

Rafaelson was crowned the V-League’s Player of the Season. This accolade is well-deserved for the Brazilian striker, who netted 31 goals, propelling Nam Dinh to the championship title. Rafaelson not only clinched the top scorer title but also set a new record for the most goals in a single season. He became the second player in V-League history to score five goals in a single match.

The 27-year-old’s stellar performances throughout the season highlighted his perseverance and growth in the V-League. Having joined Nam Dinh in 2020, then playing for Da Nang and Binh Dinh before returning to Nam Dinh, Rafaelson enjoyed a phenomenal season, forming a lethal partnership with Hendrio. His spectacular bicycle kick goal against Thanh Hoa in the second leg, which helped Nam Dinh secure a 5-2 victory, was a season highlight.

Vu Hong Viet – Coach of the Year

Head coach Vu Hong Viet was named the Coach of the Season, surpassing Bui Doan Quang Huy, who led Binh Dinh to a runner-up finish with limited resources. Coach Viet’s tactical acumen and ability to foster a cohesive team spirit were pivotal in Nam Dinh’s triumphant campaign.

Since starting his coaching career in V-League with Quang Nam in 2019, and after a stint as an assistant coach for the Vietnamese national team under Park Hang-seo, Vu Hong Viet has navigated numerous challenges to achieve his first major club-level title.
