Former Vietnamese national team player who once participated in the World Cup joins V.League giant

Hồ Tấn Tài has officially become a Ninh Bình player after signing a three-year deal, marking him as a significant addition to the team on the eve of the 2026/27 V.League campaign.

Ninh Bình continues to make a strong impact in the transfer market ahead of the 2026/27 V.League season as they finalized a contract with defender Hồ Tấn Tài. The Vietnamese international signed a three-year agreement with the ancient capital club, opening a new chapter in his career after leaving Becamex TP.HCM.

Following the 2025/26 season, Hồ Tấn Tài became a free agent after his former club was relegated. It didn't take long for the 1997-born defender to find a new home, as he reached an agreement with Ninh Bình—a team showing immense ambition after earning promotion to V.League. Tấn Tài's arrival is seen as a quality boost, bringing experience and composure to the defense under coach Chu Đình Nghiêm.

Hồ Tấn Tài is no stranger to Vietnamese football fans. He was part of the U20 Vietnam squad that competed in the 2017 U20 World Cup, a historic milestone for the country's football. Later, the defender from Bình Định continued to prove his ability with the U23 Vietnam team and became a regular fixture in the senior national team under coach Park Hang Seo. With years of experience in V.League and international competitions, Tấn Tài is expected to elevate the quality of Ninh Bình's squad.

For the 29-year-old player, joining Ninh Bình also opens up opportunities to pursue new goals. Hồ Tấn Tài once won the V.League title with CAHN in 2023 and is determined to replicate that success in the colors of the ancient capital team. As Ninh Bình invests heavily to compete at the top, the experience of this Vietnamese national team defender will play a crucial role both professionally and in terms of team spirit.

According to the plan, Hồ Tấn Tài will join the Ninh Bình squad on July 2 to begin preparations for the 2026/27 season. Prior to that, he attended the wedding of his teammate Vũ Văn Thanh in Hanoi before returning home to rest. The coaching staff hopes the defender will quickly integrate and be ready for pre-season friendlies.

The acquisition of Hồ Tấn Tài further underscores Ninh Bình's ambitious squad-building strategy. Following a series of notable signings in the summer transfer window, the newly promoted club is sending a clear message about its goal to make an impact in its debut V.League season. With his experience, class, and hunger for titles, Hồ Tấn Tài is expected to become a key piece in that journey.
