Thanh Hoa, 27 January 2026 – U23 Vietnam midfielder Thai Son has officially written an emotional farewell to Thanh Hoa FC, bringing an end to nearly a decade of loyalty and dedication to his hometown club. The announcement quickly drew attention from fans, as Thai Son has long been regarded as one of the most important and symbolic players in the club’s recent history.
The 22-year-old midfielder has just completed a highly successful campaign with Vietnam U23 at the AFC U23 Asian Cup 2026. Throughout the tournament, Thai Son was one of the most consistent and influential players in the squad, becoming a key pillar in the midfield under coach Kim Sang Sik. His tactical discipline, work rate, and composure in big matches earned him strong trust from the coaching staff and admiration from supporters.
After returning to Vietnam following the historic bronze-medal achievement, Thai Son received a warm welcome from fans and local supporters. However, shortly afterward, he posted a heartfelt farewell letter on his personal Facebook page, officially confirming his departure from Thanh Hoa FC.
In his message, Thai Son described his nearly ten-year journey with the club as more than just a football career. He called it a precious part of his youth and expressed deep gratitude to the club’s leadership, coaching staff, and teammates for their trust and support throughout every training session, every match, and every difficult moment. He emphasized that the guidance he received helped him grow not only as a footballer but also as a person.
He also reserved special thanks for the supporters of Thanh Hoa, acknowledging their passion, loyalty, and belief in both the team and himself over many years. Thai Son wrote that he would always be proud to have worn the shirt of his hometown club and wished the team continued success in the future.
Thai Son’s departure has left many Thanh Hoa fans feeling regretful and emotional. As a long-serving player who came through the club’s system, he was widely seen as a future icon of the team. His early call-up to the Vietnam national team only strengthened the belief that he would become a long-term symbol for the club, representing both local pride and professional excellence.
While his next destination has not yet been officially announced, Thai Son’s reputation has grown significantly following his performances at both club and international level. Many observers believe his departure could mark the beginning of a new chapter in his career, possibly with greater ambitions and challenges ahead.
For Thanh Hoa FC, losing a player of Thai Son’s quality and connection is undoubtedly a significant loss. For the player himself, however, this farewell may be a necessary step toward further growth. One thing remains certain: his contribution to the club over the past decade will not be forgotten by fans who watched him develop from a young talent into one of the most respected midfielders of his generation.
