He is ranked 34th in the world and No. 11 in Asia.

“Vinh was also the man for the big occasion and memorably scored the goal that won Vietnam their first and only AFF crown to date. Despite only being 31, it has been a year since Vinh hung up his boots, but it will take something – or someone – special to beat his record.”

The former Vietnam national team captain announced his retirement from football following a 4-3 defeat on aggregate in the semi-final of the 2016 AFF Suzuki Cup. He is now chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City FC.
