According to some sources, the Hanoi Police team (CAHN) has paid attention to the overseas Vietnamese defender Kevin Pham Ba – who played quite impressively in the second half of the last season in Nam Dinh club shirt.
After the 2024/25 season ended, at this time the teams were actively seeking and discovering talents to bring their teams for the new season 2025/26. And according to the latest information, Kevin Pham Ba is likely to return to CAHN after impressing in Nam Dinh.

CAHN Club wants Kevin Pham Ba in the new season. |
In fact, Kevin signed a contract with CAHN from the beginning of 2025, but was borrowed by the police team for Nam Dinh to train more experience. At Thien Truong Stadium, the player born in 1994 quickly proved his ability with 2 goals in 10 matches, despite playing in the defender position. With the comprehensive defense, speed and style of play, Kevin has attracted strong attention to coach Alexandre Polking, who wants to consolidate CAHN's defense.
However, Nam Dinh also aspires to keep Kevin for the new season, when they have to fight in 5 arenas: National Super Cup, V-League, National Cup, AFC Champions League Two and Southeast Asia Club Cup. And the presence of Kevin will definitely be an important fulcrum for coach Vu Hong Viet, helping the male team to have a stronger squad.
Before returning to Vietnam, Kevin played for many years in the third to the French rankings. The 31 -year -old, whose grandfather is Vietnamese, often plays in a right -back or kick like a center -back.
From 2012 to 2025, he played 183 matches in the Judicial Division (Championat National 2) for teams such as Sochaux II, Le Pontet Grand Avignon, Troyes II, Marignane Gignac, Martigues, Schiltigheim, Versailles and Frejus St-Raphael. He also played in the third place for Versailles (2022-2023) and fifth class for Istres (2023-2024).
If CAHN successfully recruited Kevin Pham Ba, the capital team would be like “tiger wings”. Earlier, CAHN also targeted a number of other overseas Vietnamese players like Brandon Ly. According to the new rules of the V-League season 2025/26, each team is allowed to register up to two Vietnamese-original players who have not been naturalized, instead of just one as before.
