This is a transfer deal that clearly shows the ambition to compete on titles in the arenas of the Hanoi Police Club. At the same time, it is also an opportunity for a young star like Pham Ly Duc to conquer the peak of his career, something he will be difficult to have if he continues to stay in Pleiku mountain town.
After an impressive V-League 2024/25 season in HAGL shirt, Pham Ly Duc showed that he was not only a potential player but also a brave center-back.
Pham Ly Duc's journey up to this point can be summarized in two words: “accelerating”. From a young talent of HAGL, he quickly became the mainstay of the Nui Pho team after only one V-League season.
With numbers of lying: 20 matches and scoring up to 3 goals, which proves the talent of a center -back. Possessing a smart play, capable of reading good situations and fire in each dispute, this has helped him score absolute points in the eyes of experts and fans.
Not stopping there, the impressive performance at the Southeast Asia U23 tournament 2025 – where Germany played 4 matches and even scored a very important goal, that was enough to affirm the talent and bravery of a future leader. This success has brought Ly Duc from a young talent to become a sought -after name in the transfer market. And his ambitious new stop is the Hanoi Police Club.

Joining the police team has brought Pham Ly Duc invaluable opportunities, which can help him break out and rise to a new level. At this time, CAHN's squad owns many high -class and experienced central defenders. Most notably, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, one of the best central defenders in Vietnam, and Tran Dinh Trong, a “steel shield” that used to storm the U23 Vietnam squad before.
Practicing and competing directly with these stars will be an extremely valuable opportunity for Pham Ly Duc, because he will definitely learn a lot from them, from how to move, read the situation as well as handle the ball under high pressure. This is something that Ly Duc can hardly find if he continues to stay in HAGL.
In addition, CAHN Club is not only strong in financial but also has facilities, exercise and nutrition. This is an ideal environment for a young player to develop comprehensively. Children born in 2003 will work with a team of professional coaching staff, access to modern analysis and restoration technologies. These factors will help Ly Duc improve professional qualifications, improve physical and prolong the peak competition.
Not to mention that in the 2025/26 season, the police team will attend 5 arenas, including V-League, National Cup, National Super Cup, Shopee Cup and especially AFC Champions League. The dense schedule will facilitate Mano Polking coach to rotate the squad. This is a golden opportunity for Ly Duc to express himself.
Being played in the AFC Champions League, where he will have to confront the Asian -class strikers, which will definitely be an invaluable experience, helping Pham Ly Duc to grow up. Moreover, being played in the tournaments also facilitated, giving him the opportunity to gain experience, maintain stable performance and competition at the national team.
Fierce challenges
Besides the brilliant future scenarios, the path of Pham Ly Duc at CAHN Club will not be flat. Because he will face fierce challenges, demanding bravery and extraordinary efforts.
At the capital team, the pressure of competition will certainly be very fierce, especially with rookies like Pham Ly Duc. Obviously at CAHN, there will be no “priority” for anyone. And Pham Ly Duc will have to fight every day on the training ground to win the main stone position at the club.
If he could not show his ability, he would have to get used to the bench for a long time, this could affect the performance and psychology of a young player.

With the attention contract, Ly Duc will also face great pressure from the coaching staff, fans and the media. All performances, whether good or not good, will be examined more carefully. Moreover, he will have to adapt to the completely new living and working environment in the capital, with more complex tactical requirements from coach Mano Polking.
Therefore, moving to a big team but at risk of reserve may be a double -edged sword. Without regular play, Ly Duc's talent may slow down. Instead of “dragon carp”, he could become a “bomb” on the bench. This requires him to have a steel spirit and absolute perseverance.
At HAGL, Pham Ly Duc is “the first bird”, an irreplaceable factor. He was trusted by the coach, given a lot of acting land and had a solid position in the squad. However, moving to CAHN Club is not a simple “upgrade”, but a completely environmental change, pressure and expectation. Here, he will have to start from the beginning, fight to gain each opportunity, and prove himself worthy of the belief of a big team.
On the eve of the third qualifying round of the Asian Cup 2027 against the Lao team, coach Kim Sang Sik announced the list of the Vietnamese team focused with 26 names, including Pham Ly Duc – a player on the staff of HAGL Club.
In order for the U23 Vietnam team to realize the dream of winning, coach Kim Sang Sik will not be subjective to the health of the center -back Pham Ly Duc.
