Quang Hai was carefully made up before taking shirt photos.
Members of the Hanoi football team excitedly participated in the costume fitting and photo shoot before the new season.
Before the Lunar New Year holiday, Hanoi FC had a photoshoot for jerseys and event outfits to prepare for the 2019 season. The photoshoot of the reigning V-League champions was without central defender Dinh Trong because he is in Korea receiving treatment for an injury.

Hanoi FC has shown great ambition this season when it has just added quality new players such as goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung and striker Omar from Thanh Hoa. Besides the goal of defending the national championship, the Hang Day team also wants to go far in the continental arena.
According to the schedule, in the AFC Champions League, Hanoi FC will compete from the second qualifying round and meet Bangkok United (Thailand) on February 12. If they overcome their opponents, Hanoi will have to play a play-off match with a very strong Chinese team, Shandong Luneng. Last season in the Super League (Chinese championship), this team finished in third place. Shandong Luneng has won the Super League three times and won tickets to the AFC Champions League for five consecutive years (from 2010-2016).
If they cannot get a ticket to the AFC Champions League, Hanoi will be relegated to the AFC Cup and placed in F with Tampines Rovers (Singapore), Yangon Utd (Myanmar) and Naga World (Cambodia).
In the domestic arena, Hanoi will play the opening match of V-League 2019 at home against Than Quang Ninh. The match will also take place next February (no specific schedule yet).
