Nguyễn Filip is poised to potentially reclaim his starting position as goalkeeper for the Vietnam national football team, following his absence from the ASEAN Cup 2026. Filip was unable to participate due to his commitments with CAHN FC in the AFC Champions League playoffs. His contributions have been significant, helping CAHN FC achieve success in recent matches, including a decisive 5-0 victory over Công an TP.HCM in the National Super Cup 2025/2026.

Despite Lê Giang Patrik leading the national team to victory in the ASEAN Cup 2026, he faced a heavy defeat against CAHN FC, where Filip showcased his skills. As the national team prepares for the upcoming FIFA Days in September, Coach Kim Sang-sik may consider experimenting with the lineup, which could open the door for Filip to take the starting role.

Filip’s performance in the domestic league has been impressive, and he is expected to compete healthily with Patrik for the starting position. The upcoming matches will be crucial for both players, as the national team gears up for the important Asian Cup 2027. The competition between these two talented goalkeepers is set to intensify as they both aim to secure their place in the squad.
