Foreign striker in V-League called up to the national team for World Cup qualifiers

Da Nang Club has received great news as foreign player David Henen has been once again summoned to Togo’s national team to participate in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the African zone.

David Henen, a Togolese national who was developed at Everton’s academy in England, quickly made an impact wearing Da Nang’s jersey in the 2025/26 V-League season. With his speed, individual skills, and diverse finishing ability, he is currently the team’s top scorer with 3 goals in Vietnam’s premier league, shining as a key figure in the club’s attack.

His impressive performance has secured Henen’s continued inclusion in Togo’s national team roster. According to the Togo Football Federation, he will join his teammates in two matches against DR Congo on October 10 and an away game versus South Sudan on October 13. These matches are considered crucial for African teams’ chances to advance.

Previously, during the September call-up, Henen also participated in two qualifying matches against Mauritania and Sudan. To date, he has earned 19 caps for Togo and scored once. His repeated selections highlight the head coach’s strong confidence in his ability and experience.

Henen was once regarded as a promising young talent while playing for Everton’s youth teams. Although he couldn’t break into the Premier League first team, he gained valuable experience in European football. With his versatile playing style, capable of occupying roles from winger, attacking midfielder to center forward, Henen promises to add variety to Togo’s offensive line.

David Henen’s ongoing call-up to the national team is not only a personal honor but also a great source of pride for Da Nang Club. It confirms the quality and influence of foreign players in the V-League and demonstrates that the domestic league serves as a platform for many players to prove their worth internationally.

With determination and consistent performance, Da Nang fans hope Henen will shine in Togo’s colors and continue to inspire upon his return to the V-League during the upcoming intense phase.
