Naturalizing players: Opportunities and challenges for Vietnamese football Latest sports news today. The trend of naturalizing players to play for the Vietnamese national team is attracting attention, with cases such as Hendrio, Geovane Magno, Patrik Le Giang and Jason Pendant Quang Vinh. However, not all players are suitable, and naturalization should only be considered a short-term solution. According to former VFF Vice President Duong Vu Lam, the problem lies not only in improving temporary performance, but also in the sustainability of that performance. Countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines naturalize overseas players with local roots, helping them integrate well and contribute long-term. In contrast, the Chinese national team failed when it massively naturalized foreign players, leading to worse performance than the previous period. In fact, the long-term success of major football nations such as Germany, Italy, or Japan all rely on early training of internal strength, not on naturalized players. For Vietnam, naturalization can temporarily improve performance in regional tournaments, but to achieve the goal of reaching Asia or participating in the World Cup, the core is still developing a source of high-quality domestic players.
