Thus, after 8 years away from home, packing up to train at SLNA training center, Hoang Vu Dat's dream of becoming a professional football player had to be put aside. From an excellent student at Bach Lieu gifted school (Yen Thanh), because of his passion for football, despite his parents' advice. In 2008, Dat determined to leave his hometown to join SLNA club, from U12 to U19, Dat practiced hard, and was always in the main squad every time SLNA youth teams participated in tournaments.
In 2012, Hoang Vu Dat was the captain of the SLNA U17 team, winning the National U17 Championship and the 2012 Phu Dong Sports Festival Gold Medal. After that, he was loaned by SLNA to Viettel, KonTum, Phu Yen clubs... to compete in the Second and First Division tournaments.
In 2016, Dat was called to play for U21 SLNA, but was not in the U21 main squad for some reason. Disappointed that he was not appreciated, Dat wrote a letter to leave the club.

Dat's wish was also quickly accepted by the SLNA Club's leadership. But with the requirement that "If athlete Hoang Vu Dat competes for clubs in the system organized by the Vietnam Football Federation, it must be approved by SLNA Joint Stock Company and athlete Hoang Vu Dat must compensate SLNA Joint Stock Company for training costs in the amount of seven hundred million VND".
According to the reporter's source, after terminating the contract with SLNA Club, Dat will most likely go to work abroad to improve his family's economic conditions, because he does not have money to compensate SLNA if he wants to join another club.
