Striker Nguyen Xuan Son receives special honor when Brazilian President visits Vietnam
On the occasion of the official visit to Vietnam by the President of Brazil, striker Nguyen Xuan Son received a special honor when he was invited to attend this important event.
During the State visit to Vietnam by Brazilian President Lula da Silva (March 27-29) at the invitation of President Luong Cuong, the two sides held a ceremony to hand over the minutes of cooperation agreements in many fields at the Presidential Palace on the morning of March 28.
One of the important agreements signed was the cooperation between the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) and the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Striker Nguyen Xuan Son and VFF President Tran Quoc Tuan represented Vietnamese football at the document handover ceremony.
At the event, Xuan Son was honored to receive recognition from the President of Brazil for his contributions to Vietnamese football. This moment was not only a personal pride but also affirmed the increasingly high position of Vietnamese sports in the international arena.
Sharing after the event, Xuan Son expressed: "I am extremely honored to represent Vietnamese football and receive recognition from the President of Brazil. This is the motivation for me and my teammates to continue to strive to go further."
This event opens up opportunities for football cooperation between Vietnam and Brazil, a world football powerhouse. With positive signals, fans expect Vietnamese football to develop further and reach international level.
Striker Nguyen Xuan Son, formerly known as Rafaelson, is a Brazilian striker who became a naturalized Vietnamese citizen in late 2024. Immediately after becoming a Vietnamese citizen, he quickly asserted his talent by contributing greatly to the ASEAN Cup championship of the Vietnamese team. With 7 goals scored, Xuan Son not only helped his team win the championship but also won two prestigious individual titles: Top scorer and Best Player of the tournament.
However, the joy did not last long as he suffered a serious injury in the second leg of the final, resulting in a fractured fibula and tibia. Currently, Xuan Son is undergoing treatment and rehabilitation with the support of a leading medical team. If the recovery process goes smoothly, he could return to competition next September, bringing great hope to both the club and the national team./.
