Hanoi (VNA) - Vietnamese female football star Huynh Nhu travelled to Portugal on August 22 to make preparations before signing a two-year contract with Länk FC which is competing in top division Campeonato Feminino.

If she passes the medical check, her contract with the club will take effect and Nhu will become the first Vietnamese female player to play abroad.

Nhu, born in 1991 in Tra Vinh, is one of the most prominent players in Vietnamese women's football and captain of the Vietnamese national women’s football team. She has won the Golden Ball award on four occasions and has also made several important contributions to the Vietnamese women's team, winning gold medals at the SEA Games in 2017, 2019, and 2022, along with the AFF Cup 2019 championship.
