Cai Van Quy is a member of the SLNA U15 team that won the National U11, U13 and U15 tournaments.

When he scored 3 goals, he helped SLNA U15 successfully defend the championship for the second consecutive year.

In 2020, Cai Van Quy could not participate in the national U17 tournament due to injury. However, this time, SLNA had Tran Van Cuong shine.
Recently, after taking over the club, the new sponsor's leaders asked about the youth team's stars and found out that these players were injured. The club's leaders then went to their accommodation to visit and were very moved by the image of these players having to apply ice and bandage their injuries themselves. Immediately after that, the club made a plan to treat the players.
