Nguyen Dinh Bac has reached the final round of voting for the Vietnam Golden Ball 2025, competing against seasoned stars Hoang Duc, Tien Linh, and Quang Hai. As a key player under coach Kim Sang Sik, Dinh Bac helped Vietnam’s U23 team win both the Southeast Asian U23 Championship and the SEA Games 33 gold medal. Traditionally, Vietnam’s highest football awards favor players who make the strongest impression at national team level, where competition, pressure, and influence are at their peak. Even so, Dinh Bac still has a genuine shot at glory. That precedent leaves the door open for Dinh Bac.
