National team’s defender Doan Van Hau finally returned to Vietnam after 11 months on loan at SC Heerenveen in the Netherlands from Hanoi FC.

The Vietnamese national team’s defender Doan Van Hau is returning to Hanoi FC after Dutch club SC Heerenveen did not extend his loan contract.

Hanoi FC will help pay Doan Van Hau’s salary to stay at SC Heerenveen if the club can prove they want to keep the Vietnamese national team player, according to the club's President Do Vinh Quang.

Doan Van Hau and SC Heerenveen have made headlines in local media after the Dutch football club reported they wanted to extend the Vietnamese defender's contract.

Vietnam’s U22 players will have no time to rest after their SEA Games victory as Korean coach Park Hang-seo on December 12 announced a list of 28 footballers to prepare for the final round of the AFC U23 Championship in January 2020.

Vietnamese defender Doan Van Hau on September 2 signed a one-year loan contract with top Dutch side SC Heerenveen on the last day of the summer transfer window in Europe.
