On the ASEAN FOOTBALL fanpage with nearly 500,000 followers, information about Filip Nguyen acquiring Vietnamese nationality was also posted. “Filip Nguyen officially became a Vietnamese citizen and is eligible to play for the Vietnam national team,” the Facebook page with a large number of football fans across Southeast Asia wrote.
The news of Filip Nguyen successfully naturalizing as a Vietnamese citizen immediately attracted the attention of many social media users. The post received a huge amount of interaction with thousands of likes and comments. Even the goalkeeper of the Hanoi Police Club appeared in the post about himself, when commenting on the Vietnamese national flag symbol, with the implication of showing his determination and effort for the flag and shirt.
The post about Filip Nguyen having Vietnamese nationality received great attention.
Meanwhile, all Vietnamese football fans are excited, as coach Troussier's team may have another quality goalkeeper. Filip Nguyen also has citizenship in time, in time to attend the 2023 Asian Cup (taking place in January 2024 in Qatar) if called up by Mr. Troussier. In addition, many social media users from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines sent their congratulations to Filip Nguyen and the Vietnamese team.
However, there were also many mixed reactions under the post. Among them, many fans from the archipelago said that the Vietnamese team had gone against what they had said. Indonesian “fans” said that Vietnamese fans had judged other teams in the region for using many naturalized players and were proud that the “golden star team” only used domestic players, but now, coach Troussier has also started to “recruit” naturalized stars.
The above comments are from Indonesian netizens. Vietnamese fans and media are actually only referring to the issue of countries naturalizing players of completely foreign origin, not of mixed blood. Meanwhile, Filip Nguyen's father is 100% Vietnamese, his mother is from the Czech Republic. The case of the goalkeeper of the Hanoi Police Club is completely similar to Dang Van Lam (whose father is Vietnamese, mother is Russian).
Filip Nguyen is playing for Hanoi Police Club.
In fact, Filip Nguyen's successful naturalization as a Vietnamese citizen is only a prerequisite for the 1992-born goalkeeper to be able to play for the national team. Whether or not the Hanoi Police Club goalkeeper can be used depends on Coach Troussier's decision. Up to now, it is still uncertain whether the "goalkeeper" of Vietnamese and Czech descent will participate in the 2023 Asian Cup Finals.
It is known that December 12 is the deadline for the Vietnam Football Federation to send the preliminary list of players (about 30 names) to the organizing committee for the 2023 Asian Cup Finals. If summoned, Filip Nguyen will be a highly anticipated addition to the Vietnam national team in the near future.
