On the evening of February 26, the Golden Ball Awards Ceremony 2024 took place in Ho Chi Minh City.

Striker Nguyen Tien Linh of Becamex Binh Duong Club has been officially honored with the title of Vietnam Golden Ball 2024. This is the first time he has received this noble award, recognizing his outstanding contributions to both the club and the national team throughout the past year.

Playing for Binh Duong, Tien Linh has spent his 10th season playing in the V-League. He scored a total of 67 goals, becoming one of the most effective domestic strikers in the tournament. In 2024 alone, he scored 10 goals in the V-League, leading the list of domestic top scorers.

Previously, he finished second to Van Quyet in the 2022 Vietnam Golden Ball award, despite winning the title of co-top scorer of the AFF Cup 2022 with 6 goals. This time, with his relentless efforts, Tien Linh has conquered the most prestigious award in Vietnamese football.
