In order to reorganize the defense, Song Lam Nghe An (SLNA) decided to invite Japanese center-back Wada Koji for a trial.
After round 9, Song Lam Nghe An is currently ranked second to last in the V-League 2024/25 rankings. The main reason for this situation is the poor quality of the defense. To strengthen the defense, Song Lam Nghe An has decided to invite Japanese center-back Wada Koji for a trial.

After playing for the Yokohama F Marinos youth team, this player born in 2001 moved to play for Sendai University (Japan).
