Nguyễn Bảo Long (born 23 August 2005) is a Vietnamese professional footballer who plays as a left back for V.League 2 club PVF-CAND and the Vietnam national under-20 team.[2]
Early career
Born in Bắc Giang, Bao Long has joined the PVF Football Academy in 2016 through the enrollment program. Starting his career as an attacker and later a left midfielder, Bảo Long was converted to a left back by his youth team coach due to his lack of skills to play above.[3] He won the Vietnamese National U-19 Football Championship in 2021.[4]
Club career
Bảo Long participated in the 2021 and 2022 Vietnamese Football League Second Division with PVF.[3]
In 2023, Bảo Long was promoted to PVF Football Academy's first team PVF-CAND. On 16 April 2023, he made his V.League 2 debut in PVF-CAND's goalless draw against Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu.[5]
International career
In March 2022, Bảo Long was named in Vietnam U17 squad for a training camp in Germany.[6] Later in the year, he was called up to Vietnam national under-19 team for the AFF U-19 Youth Championship. Bảo Long appeared in 6 matches and was a key member in helping Vietnam finish in third place.[7][8]
In 2023, Bảo Long participated in the 2023 AFC U-20 Championship with Vietnam national under-20s.[9] He didn't appear in any game as Vietnam failed to reach the quarter-finals despite having won two out of their three matches.[10]
