Last season, Ho Van Cuong played 13 times for Hanoi Police Club with 508 minutes of play in two arenas, V.League and National Cup. He has not left much of an impression in the shirt of the 2023 V.League champion team.

In the right-back position, Ho Van Cuong has difficulty competing with famous seniors like Van Thanh or Ho Tan Tai. Returning to play for Song Lam Nghe An Club will bring Ho Van Cuong more opportunities to play. With his proven talent, this player will almost certainly be the number 1 choice on the right wing of the Nghe An team.
