Park Hang-seo and Vietnam will likely not have the service of overseas Vietnamese goalkeeper Filip Nguyen in 2020.

In order to realize the dream of returning to dedicate to home football, Filip Nguyen and his family have completed the procedures for applying for Vietnamese nationality. The Vietnam Football Federation also joined legal aid for Vietnamese overseas Czech goalkeeper.

Filip Nguyen's profile has not been approved because he did not meet the requirement of permanent residence in Vietnam for at least 5 years. However, overseas Vietnamese goalkeepers can a special case thanks to the special talent.

However, the chance for Filip Nguyen to complete the naturalization and play for Vietnam in the 2022 World Cup Qualifier is very low. The most favorable case, the goalkeeper  will be granted citizenship before the AFF Cup 2020 takes place.

A VFF leader revealed: "We are still supporting the Filip Nguyen family to help hime have his citizenship. But the possibility that Filip Nguyen can join the Vietnamese team in the 2022 World Cup Qualifier is very low "- according to Tien Phong.

Even if you have Vietnamese nationality at the end of the year, it is difficult with the army of Park Hang-seo to attend the AFF Cup 2020. Because the Southeast Asian football championship is not in the FIFA Day's system, Slovan Liberec reserves the right not to release troops for Vietnam.

The fact that Filip Nguyen cannot play for Vietnam in 2020 is not good news for Park Hang-seo, because the goalkeepers in his hands are in a rather unstable form. Meanwhile, the overseas Vietnamese goalkeeper has just shown an impressive performance when bringing a victory to Liberec in the 25th round of the Czech Republic League on 28 May.
