Former Barcelona star expresses desire to play for Vietnam national team

According to some sources, midfielder Hendrio Araujo da Silva has completed the procedures to apply for Vietnamese citizenship.

Hendrio Araujo da Silva wants to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey.

The 29-year-old player also expressed his desire to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey in the near future.

This is not the first time Hendrio Araujo da Silva has expressed his desire to contribute to the red shirt army.

Hendrio grew up in the famous La Masia training academy, played for Barcelona U16, Real Betis youth team and Huelva Club (Spain).

In 2021, the Brazilian player came to play for Binh Dinh Club and quickly proved his ability.

But by the end of 2022, the two sides could not agree on terms and soon terminated the contract.

Also in the 2022 season, Hendrio had a total of 7 goals and 7 assists for the team from Vo land.

In the 2023 season, the Brazilian star moved to play for Nam Dinh and had a good start.

He contributed significantly to helping the team from Thanh Nam enter the top 8 after the first leg and compete for the championship in the second stage.

Meanwhile, in recent years, Vietnamese football has been actively opening the door for overseas Vietnamese stars to join the national team.

There are still many high-class names in the process of naturalization and yearning to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey, such as goalkeeper Patrick Le Giang or Filip Nguyen.

However, both of the above names are of Vietnamese origin and everything went relatively smoothly.

But for Hendrio, he does not have Vietnamese blood, so joining the national team will not be simple, regardless of the player's proven class.
