Ninh Binh, 9 August, 2025 – After a long wait, Vietnamese football fans are ready to immerse themselves once again in the excitement of a new season, starting with the highly anticipated National Super Cup showdown between Nam Dinh and Hanoi Police FC.
Nam Dinh enter the match as reigning V.League 1 champions, while Hanoi Police FC claimed the 2024/2025 National Cup title. This clash between two of the nation’s top sides promises an intense and captivating battle, with both teams eager to assert their dominance ahead of the 2025/2026 campaign.
Both clubs have invested heavily in the summer 2025 transfer window, strengthening their already impressive squads with high-profile signings. With such depth and quality, Nam Dinh and Hanoi Police FC are expected to be serious contenders for multiple trophies this season. Beyond the silverware on offer, the Super Cup is also a stage for both teams to send an early statement of intent to the rest of the league.
Speaking to the media ahead of the game, Hanoi Police FC head coach Alexandre Polking expressed his excitement: “This is our first match after a long break. I believe both teams are among the best in Vietnam at the moment. We have national team players, quality foreign signings, and the ambition to deliver an entertaining match for the fans. I hope when the final whistle blows, we will be the ones lifting the National Super Cup.”
On the other side, Nam Dinh head coach Vu Hong Viet stressed the importance of focus and determination: “Before the ball is kicked, nothing can be predicted. This is an important match that opens the new season, so both teams will be highly motivated. For us, the desire to win is even greater when we are playing at home in Thien Truong Stadium.”
Both Polking and Viet have reason to be confident, with squads packed with star players capable of deciding the match in an instant. Nam Dinh’s biggest advantage will be their home ground, where they secured the most points in the 2024/2025 season. However, this could also bring added pressure if they fail to perform in front of their passionate supporters.
Given the high stakes, tactical battles are expected, with both coaches likely to carefully manage the game. The winner will be the team that demonstrates greater composure and resilience under pressure. And with the possibility of the match going to penalties, fans can expect a thrilling curtain-raiser to the new season.
