Nguyễn Hồng Phúc (born 31 May 2003) is a Vietnamese professional footballer who plays as a center back or right back for V.League 1 club Viettel, and the Vietnam national under-23 team.

Club career

Hồng Phúc was formed in the Viettel FC youth academy. In 2021, he joined Hòa Bình on a long-term loan deal. In the 2022 season, he played an important role in helping Hòa Bình gaining a promotion from Vietnamese Second Division to V.League 2.[3] In his first season in V.League 2, Hồng Phúc made 7 appearances and finished 4th in the league with his team.[4]

In March 2024, Hồng Phúc's loan spell at Hòa Bình ended as he was recalled by Thể Công-Viettel for the second part of the 2023–24 V.League 1 season.[5]

International career

In September 2018, Hồng Phúc was called up to the Vietnam U16 squad for the 2018 AFC U-16 Championship but didn't play a single minute during the tournament.[6]

In 2022, Hồng Phúc was part of the Vietnam U19 team that finished third in the AFF U-19 Youth Championship.[7]

Between February and March 2023, Hồng Phúc participated in the 2023 AFC U-20 Championship with Vietnam national under-20s.[8] He appeared in all three group stage matches before Vietnam was eliminated.[9] Later in the year, he was named in Vietnam U23's 23-men squad for the 2023 AFF U-23 Championship.[10] He scored one goal in the 4–1 semi-final win against Malaysia and later appeared as a substitute in the final as Vietnam won the tournament.[11]
