Vietnamese player officially joins a major new club

Võ Minh Trọng has officially said goodbye to Becamex TP HCM before moving to CA TP HCM.

The Police Football Club of Ho Chi Minh City (CA TP HCM) has just officially activated a "blockbuster" contract named Võ Minh Trọng for the second phase of the V.League. After images of Minh Trọng appeared during a training session of the club, the defender born in 2001 finally made his official debut, becoming the second key player from Becamex TP HCM to join the police-affiliated team this season, following striker Nguyễn Tiến Linh.

Võ Minh Trọng is a testament to rapid progress, rising from the First Division with Đồng Tháp to becoming the first-choice left-back in the V.League. With his resilient playing style and impressive attacking support, he quickly secured a starting spot in both the U23 and Vietnam national teams.

Under coach Philippe Troussier, Minh Trọng was an irreplaceable "favorite" player. He set a record by starting in 5 consecutive matches after joining the national team, including games against South Korea, China, and Iraq. At the 2024 Asian Cup, the defender further proved his status by starting all 3 group stage matches for the "Golden Star Warriors".

However, after coach Troussier left in March 2024, Minh Trọng gradually disappeared from the new coach Kim Sang-sik’s call-ups. Still, at the club level, he maintained consistent form and remained a crucial member of Becamex TP HCM before deciding to seek new challenges in the capital.

Joining CA TP HCM, Minh Trọng is expected to strengthen the defense and add creativity to wing attacks. This is an ideal environment for him to elevate his skills and regain favor with coach Kim Sang-sik to return to the national team in the near future.

With the presence of this "left flank arrow," CA TP HCM is showing great ambition in the title race for the second half of the season. Fans eagerly anticipate the combination of Minh Trọng with the club’s top stars aiming to conquer the peak of the 2025-2026 V.League.
