The 2023 - 2024 football season has ended with positive results for Ho Chi Minh City football when Ho Chi Minh City Club under the leadership of Coach Phung Thanh Phuong ranked 4th in V-League while Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club (now renamed Thanh Nien Ho Chi Minh City) won a ticket to play in the first division.

This good news makes the football atmosphere in Ho Chi Minh City more exciting and worth waiting for. Especially when the first division rookie, Thanh Nien Club of Ho Chi Minh City is causing a fever with a series of sensational transfer deals.

The ambition of this young but very potential team is shown in the decision to hire head coach Nguyen Viet Thang and assistant coach Le Phuoc Tu - 2 heroes of the 2008 AFF Cup championship who are studying for the AFC Pro certificate.

At the same time, Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club has completed a series of notable contracts with players Dinh Thanh Binh, Do Van Thuan, Do Thanh Thinh, Le Ngoc Bao, Pham Van Thanh...

Dinh Thanh Binh is one of the national players who joined Thanh Nien TP.HCM Club.

In addition, the rookies of the 2024 - 2025 first division also strengthen their squad with other notable names such as U.23 Vietnam players Tran Ngoc Son, Pham Gia Hung, La Nguyen Bao Trung, Nguyen Duc Viet, Le Minh Binh or Trinh Duc Loi, Tran Hoang Son...

The quick and impressive "shopping" session of Thanh Nien TP.HCM Club has helped them possess the most combative, deep and experienced force in this year's first division, ready for a fierce battle with other names that also want to be promoted such as PVF-CAND and Binh Phuoc.

Meanwhile, Coach Phung Thanh Phuong's Ho Chi Minh City Club is also actively changing players, aiming to stabilize the squad and increase competitiveness in the harsh V-League.

Up to now, the team nicknamed "Red Battleship" has said goodbye to goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang, overseas Vietnamese player Le Trung Vinh and defenders Minh Tung, Ngoc Duc, Tung Quoc... including young players, a total of more than a dozen names.

On the other hand, they welcomed two goalkeepers Bui Tien Dung and Manh Cuong to replace Patrik Le Giang, experienced defender Manh Cuong from The Cong Viettel Club to replace Tung Quoc, or the top scorer of the first division Bui Van Binh... while keeping key players such as Tuan Tai, Minh Trung, Huy Toan...

Most recently, Ho Chi Minh City's sole representative in the V-League has just welcomed former Vietnamese player Adriano Schmidt and said goodbye to Binh Dinh Club to strengthen the defense.

Most importantly, the "Red Battleship" has successfully retained coach Phung Thanh Phuong with a new contract, thereby continuing to stabilize the team to maintain competitiveness in the V-League, in the role of the leading football team of Ho Chi Minh City.

Each has their own style and way of doing things, but both Ho Chi Minh City Club and Thanh Nien Ho Chi Minh City are actively preparing for the new season, with the goal of helping Ho Chi Minh City football to flourish in the V-League, with two representatives competing in the highest arena of Vietnamese football.
