Nguyễn Trọng Hoàng (born April 14, 1989) is a Vietnamese footballer who is now playing for Sông Lam Nghệ An. He is widely considered by the Vietnamese press as one of the most promising talent in Vietnamese football at the moment.^[2]

Club career

After the departure of Le Cong Vinh to Hà Nội T&T F.C. in 2009, Hoang was given Vinh's number 9 and since then, he has become an important part of Sông Lam Nghệ An. His performance helped SLNA won third place in the 2009 V-League season and 2010 Vietnamese Cup title.

International career

In 2007, Hoang was in Alfred Riedl's plan for the 2007 Southeast Asian Games. However he was left out because he had to take the final Exam for his high school study.

In 2009, Hoang was again chosen to play in the 2009 Southeast Asian Games by Henrique Calisto. Hoang scored in the third game of the tournament against Malaysia. However he was injured when he played against Cambodia which prevented him from playing in the Semi-final. In the tournament's final, Hoang came on as the substitute but the team lost against Malaysia in the final and only received silver medal. Despite the lost, the team's performance in the tournament was impressive so that Hoang is one of the few players who were called up to play in the national team.

In 2010, he was again chosen to play in the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou in which he scored two goals against Turkmenistan and Bahrain to helped Vietnam proceeded into the second round for the first time in the history. The team lost to North Korea but he was then selected to play in the 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup. In the first game, Hoang scored two goals against Myanmar after he came on at the 72-minute. The team came on to win 7-1.^[3]
