The number one star of U22 Vietnam is about to make history at the QBV awards

Đình Bắc is on the verge of winning a double at the Vietnam QBV and Best Young Player awards this year.

The Gala Award Night Vietnam Golden Ball 2025 taking place on the evening of December 26 at Ben Thanh Theater (Ho Chi Minh City) has become the focal point for fans. Among the nominees, the name Nguyễn Đình Bắc has emerged as a remarkable phenomenon, standing before a historic chance: to simultaneously win both the male Golden Ball and the Best Young Player of the Year awards.

In the most prestigious category – Male Golden BallĐình Bắc, along with goalkeeper Trung Kiên, are the two outstanding U22 Vietnamese players shortlisted among the final five candidates. Having a young player in the elite group of domestic football is already a feat, but for Đình Bắc, this is fully deserved after his key contributions to the national team's play and his outstanding club performance throughout the year.

Besides competing for the highest honor, this 2004-born striker is also the leading candidate for the Best Young Player award. He leads a list of seven talents who recently helped U22 Vietnam claim the top spot at SEA Games 33, including Cao Văn Bình, Nguyễn Công Phương, and Lê Phát. The shining SEA Games gold medal in Thailand is a powerful boost that gives Đình Bắc a clear advantage in the eyes of experts and voting journalists.

If he can win in both categories, Đình Bắc will either match or surpass the records of his predecessors, becoming a new symbol of generational continuity. His breakthrough is not only about scoring important goals but also about his resilient spirit in big matches. This proves his remarkable growth after a year full of challenges and pressure.

Đình Bắc’s presence in the two most important nomination lists highlights the strong transformation of Vietnamese football under coach Kim Sang-sik, as young players begin to occupy key positions. With his current talent and influence, fans have high hopes for a "sweep of awards" for the national team striker on the night of the ceremony.
