Mr. Nguyen Hong Thanh said: “To prepare for the 2021 season, the club has successfully renewed the contracts of captain Hoang Van Khanh and many other players such as Igor Jelic, Dang Van Lam..., but the club has encountered many difficulties in preparing foreign players due to the prolonged Covid-19 pandemic. Foreign players from abroad are almost impossible to find. Therefore, the club only chooses foreign players whose contracts have been terminated by other clubs, so the quality is not guaranteed.

With those difficulties, SLNA Club also tried to compete but the results were not as expected. On the other hand, the Club was not lucky during the competition, many players were injured, the team was no longer 100% strong in the rounds. The members of the Board of Directors, the coaching staff and the players themselves also felt very sad and sorry towards the Sponsor, the provincial leaders and especially sorry towards the expectations and wishes of the fans, the supporters who loved the team".
