Maximum of 6 foreign players can appear on the field at the same time in V.League 2025/26

On the afternoon of July 14, the LP Bank V.League 2025/26 National Football Championship officially kicked off with the draw and match schedule ceremony.

One of the issues attracting attention before the new season is the regulation on the number of foreign players.

Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) stipulates that each club registers 4 foreign players and a maximum of 3 players can play. In recent days, some clubs have petitioned VPF to allow all 4 foreign players to play at the same time.

Some opinions support this proposal, saying that it will help increase the attractiveness of the matches. However, many opinions are also concerned that this may lead to a gap in class and fairness between teams with strong potential and teams with limited finances.

At the V.League 2025/26 schedule drawing ceremony, the organizing committee announced to keep the regulation allowing each team to register 4 players and a maximum of 3 foreign players to play at the same time.

The number of foreign players on the V.League field is actually higher, because a large number of foreign players and naturalized overseas Vietnamese are considered domestic players.

Que Ngoc Hai says goodbye to Binh Duong Club

After Binh Duong's 2-3 loss toLam River Nghe AnIn the 2024/25 National Cup semi-finals, many sources said that the Board of Directors of the Thu Dau Mot team was very disappointed with Que Ngoc Hai's performance and considered selling this player.

In that match, Que Ngoc Hai was the one who made a direct mistake, leading to a penalty in the 89th minute. On the 11m mark, Michael Olaha made no mistake, sealing a 3-2 victory for the Nghe An team.

Since joining Binh Duong, Que Ngoc Hai's contributions are said to be not commensurate with the salary and "kickbacks" that this player receives.

The future of Que Ngoc Hai seemed to be clear, but most recently (at noon on July 14), the former central defender of the Vietnamese national team posted the message "goodbye Becamex Binh Duong", along with a thank you to the members of the team on his personal Facebook page.

"Thank you for everything we have been through together in the past time. Thank you for the support of the club's leadership, coaches, coaching staff, logistics team and especially the players. You will always be a beautiful memory in my football career," the central defender from Nghe An shared.

It is known that Que Ngoc Hai is currently receiving attention from a series of football teams such as Truong Tuoi Binh Phuoc, Bac Ninh Club and Hanoi Police.

Former V.League champion announced good news about Van Hau

A very good news for fans of Hanoi Police Club is that this team has just added defender Doan Van Hau to the list of players participating in the new V.League season 2025/26.

Hanoi Police Club recently officially added defender Doan Van Hau's name to the registration list for the 2025/26 V.League competition sent to Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) and Vietnam Football Federation (VFF).

This is a positive sign that the injury recovery process of the player born in 1999 has many positive changes. Previously, Doan Van Hau shared images of training with the ball, revealing that the day of returning to the field is not far away.

The Vietnamese football star suffered a long-term heel injury and went to Singapore for self-recovery treatment without surgery. However, after nearly half a year of ineffective treatment, the defender was forced to undergo surgery in March 2024. Being on the competition registration list shows that Van Hau is on the way to recovery and is likely to return in the early stages of the new season.

In addition, this team will also welcome central defender Pham Ly Duc from Hoang Anh Gia Lai FC. This will be a significant addition to the defense of the National Cup champion team, alongside Bui Hoang Viet Anh, Hugo Gomes and Tran Dinh Trong.

Mosquera made a total of 90 appearances for Valencia's first team, including 41 last season. He is also a familiar face at the Spanish youth levels, with 10 appearances for the U21 team, including the match against England U21 at the U21 Euro 2025 Summer Finals./.
