Vietnam football updates today, June 28: The national squad stands at 27 players; Ho Tan Tai moves to Ninh Binh FC.

Ngo Dang Khoa sustained an injury while still playing for his club. An MRI scan confirmed a grade 2 meniscus tear. During the recent training camp with the national team, Khoa was unable to participate in regular training sessions, only focusing on recovery exercises and physical therapy as prescribed by the medical staff.
According to doctors' assessments, if he continues training and playing without full recovery, Ngo Dang Khoa risks worsening the injury, potentially leading to a grade 3 meniscus tear requiring surgical intervention.
The current squad size for the Vietnam national team is 27 players. Duy Manh, Ngoc Bao, and Khuat Van Khang are still unable to train with the full team.
As planned, the Vietnam national team will continue training in Hanoi until July 1 before departing for a training camp in South Korea from July 2 to July 14.
During the training camp, the team will play three friendly matches to review squad depth, evaluate player form, and finalize tactical plans ahead of their campaign to defend the ASEAN Cup 2026 championship title.

In the 29th minute, Minh Quang fired a precise shot to equalize at 2-2. Then, in the 37th minute, Quoc Huy completed his own brace with a goal that sealed a 3-2 victory, capping an emotional comeback for Sai Gon Titans.

After becoming a free agent at the end of the 2025/26 season, Ho Tan Tai chose the ancient capital club as his new destination. This is considered a quality addition to the defensive line under coach Chu Dinh Nghiem.

According to the schedule, Ho Tan Tai will join the Ninh Binh squad on July 2 to prepare for the new season.
The arrival of Ho Tan Tai marks another notable signing for Ninh Binh during the summer transfer window.
