The first player is a Serbian central defender - Damir Memović, this player is 1m91 tall. Before coming to Vietnam, the player born in 1989 played for many different teams in Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and his playing experience is undeniable.
The other player from Brazil, this striker named Alves Dos Santos also has an ideal height (1m82). Although he came to tryout quite late, he soon showed his ability in the eyes of SLNA's scouting board. This striker will wear the number 19 shirt of SLNA in V.League 2019.
The above foreign players are integrating quite quickly with their teammates. Together with Michael Olaha, these 3 foreign players are expected to be key players in SLNA's tactical scheme in the 2019 season.
Currently, the official registration list including domestic and foreign players for V.League 2019 has been sent by SLNA to the Organizing Committee. After VPF sends this list to the Vietnam Football Federation to check the player qualifications, the above faces will be officially announced.
