Ninh Binh, 13 September, 2025 – As Nam Dinh Green Steel FC prepares for their upcoming AFC Champions League Two journey, Thai newspaper Siam Sport has turned the spotlight on Vietnamese midfielder Nguyen Xuan Son. The Thai publication recently published an analysis of Group F, where Nam Dinh is set to face Gamba Osaka (Japan), Eastern (Hong Kong), and Ratchaburi FC (Thailand).
Among the various talking points, Siam Sport paid special attention to the return of Xuan Son, who has been recovering from a long-term injury. The article noted that Nam Dinh had included the midfielder in their squad list for the 2025/26 Vietnamese National Cup, a move seen as a precursor to his potential involvement in the AFC Champions League Two campaign.
“Nam Dinh Green Steel FC has named Nguyen Xuan Son in their squad for the 2025/26 Vietnamese National Cup, followed by the AFC Champions League Two. The inclusion of Xuan Son in this season’s registration list is a strong signal that he is on the verge of returning to action. His comeback could play a vital role in helping the club pursue short-term success after a long injury layoff,” wrote Siam Sport.
The mention of Xuan Son underscores the growing regional interest in Vietnamese clubs and their key players as the country continues to raise its profile in Asian football. Nam Dinh’s draw into Group F has sparked excitement among fans and analysts alike, especially with high-profile opponents like Gamba Osaka and a regional rivalry with Thailand’s Ratchaburi FC.
Nguyen Xuan Son, a midfielder known for his vision and work rate, was previously a key figure in Nam Dinh’s setup before his injury. His potential return adds depth to the team and could provide a much-needed boost as they gear up for both domestic and continental challenges.
With the AFC Champions League Two providing a platform for clubs outside the traditional elite to shine, all eyes will be on whether Nam Dinh and their returning star can make a meaningful impact. The focus from international media like Siam Sport also signals the increasing competitiveness and appeal of Vietnamese football on the Asian stage.
