Why did Heerenveen not release Van Hau to U23 Vietnam?
Heerenveen Club did not let Van Hau join the U23 Vietnam team. This team needs him but not necessarily because of professional factors.
After much controversy, Doan Van Hau will not wear the Vietnam U23 shirt at the 2020 AFC U23 Championship. VFF and coach Park Hang-seo contacted Heerenveen to ask the Dutch team to release the player but failed. Theoretically, Heerenveen is not wrong because the AFC U23 Championship is not part of the FIFA competition system, so they have the right to refuse to release the player.
