Defender Ho Van Cuong held an engagement ceremony before joining the U22 Vietnam army.

On the afternoon of March 11, defender Ho Van Cuong (Song Lam Nghe An Club) was present at the gathering place of the Vietnam U22 team to prepare for the 2026 U23 Asian qualifiers taking place in September and the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand.

Ho Van Cuong is the latest player to join the team, because yesterday (March 10) Van Cuong held his engagement ceremony in his hometown Nghe An. It is known that Ho Van Cuong's other half is a teacher, currently working in the education sector in Nghi Loc district, Nghe An province.

Sharing with Nghe An Newspaper reporters on the military gathering day, defender Ho Van Cuong said that his family is always the place that helps him maintain his spirit and gives him more motivation to conquer new heights. Organizing the engagement ceremony is not only a major event in his life but also an important milestone, helping him have a solid rear against upcoming challenges.

Ho Van Cuong, born on January 15, 2003 in Hoang Mai town, is one of the promising right-backs of Vietnamese football. He started his career at PVF Football Academy, where he was known for his technical and speedy playing style.

However, in 2019, due to physical limitations, he left PVF and joined the Song Lam Nghe An Youth Football Training Center. Here, under the guidance of the coaches, Van Cuong quickly matured and was promoted to the club's first team.

Despite his physical limitations, Ho Van Cuong possesses good physical strength, speed and technique, which helped him quickly gain the trust of the coaching staff. He became the first choice for the right-back position of Song Lam Nghe An in his first professional season, helping the team finish the season in 5th place.

In September 2023, Ho Van Cuong moved to Hanoi Police on a one-season loan contract. Here, he continued to show stable performance, playing 12 matches and making important contributions to the team's achievements.

Ho Van Cuong has been through many levels of the Vietnamese youth team. He played for U17, U20 and currently U22 Vietnam. At the 32nd SEA Games in May 2023, Van Cuong made a strong impression when he scored a double in the Bronze Medal match against U22 Myanmar, helping U22 Vietnam win 3-1 and win the Bronze Medal.

With his maturity and impressive form, Ho Van Cuong is considered an important factor in the Song Lam Nghe An squad. His solid defensive ability and effective attacking support from the right wing help him become a "whirlwind" on the wing of the Nghe An team. /.
