Performing brilliantly, the talented Vietnamese diaspora player has been called up to the Belgium U19 national team.

The young defender of Vietnamese origin, Lenn-Minh Tran, has recently been summoned to join the Belgium U19 national team in the newest selection.

After only half a season playing for MVV Maastricht in the Dutch Eerste Divisie, Lenn-Minh Tran has made a remarkable impression. Joining from KRC Genk’s U18 team at the start of the season, the young player quickly secured a starting position, appearing in 9 of the first 10 matches and becoming a key figure in MVV’s defense.

With an impressive physique, excellent game reading skills, and a modern playing style, Lenn-Minh is regarded as one of Belgium’s most promising young defenders. His outstanding development earned him a professional contract lasting three years, marking a significant milestone in his pursuit of a football career.

MVV Maastricht’s technical director, Ronny van Geneugden, highly praises the Vietnamese-origin player: “Lenn-Minh is a right-back full of potential, tactically intelligent, and consistently professional. He fully deserves this contract.”

Not only shining at his club, Lenn-Minh Tran’s impressive form also caught the attention of the Belgian Football Association, leading to his call-up to the national U19 team. This prestigious achievement is rare among players of Vietnamese descent in Europe, proving his professional skills are recognized at a high level of football.

This call-up also gives Lenn-Minh the chance to compete alongside Belgium’s top talents, gaining valuable experience to further develop himself. Experts believe that if he maintains his form, the young defender could advance to higher levels within Belgium’s national teams or even open the possibility of representing Vietnam in the future.

According to family sources, Lenn-Minh Tran is completing the process to obtain Vietnamese citizenship, hoping to contribute to his homeland if given the opportunity. This is a positive sign as Vietnamese football increasingly focuses on developing Vietnamese diaspora players competing in Europe.

The emergence of talents like Lenn-Minh Tran not only confirms the growing influence of Vietnamese people in world football but also opens new pathways for Vietnam’s youth teams going forward. With a solid training background and a determined mindset, this Vietnamese-origin defender is expected to become a key figure in Vietnamese football in the coming years.
