Brazilian foreign player wearing Vietnam national team jersey

Goalkeeper Caique Santos from Thep Xanh Nam Dinh caught eyes when he shared an image of himself wearing the Vietnam national team kit on his social media.

The goalkeeper Caique Santos, a Brazilian foreign player currently playing for Thep Xanh Nam Dinh, recently drew attention by posting a picture wearing the 2025 away jersey of the Vietnam national team.

The photo he shared on his personal account quickly received much interest from fans. It is known that this is a special gift from his teammate Nguyễn Xuân Son to the Brazilian foreign player.

In the photo, Caique smiles brightly, posing warmly with the number 12 jersey and the Vietnamese flag displayed on the chest. In another close-up shot, he shows the back of the shirt with the name “Xuân Son,” highlighting the close relationship between the Brazilian goalkeeper and the leading striker of the Vietnam national team.

Caique Santos is a well-known figure in Brazilian football. He has played for several famous clubs such as Gremio and Esporte Clube Vitória, with a total of 32 appearances in Serie A, Brazil’s top league. Additionally, Caique was once called up to the Brazil U20 national team, proving his talent and high potential from a young age.

Joining Thep Xanh Nam Dinh, Caique brings extensive experience as a goalkeeper who has competed at the highest levels of football. He possesses an ideal physique and quick reflexes, qualities expected to greatly support Nam Dinh in their pursuit of international tournaments this season, including the AFC Champions League Two and the ASEAN Club Championship.

Notably, during his time at Gremio, Caique had the chance to train and play alongside the Uruguayan superstar Luis Suarez. This period helped him build resilience and gain valuable experience in a demanding football environment. This experience has led Nam Dinh’s coaching staff to trust that the Brazilian goalkeeper will be a reliable last line of defense in upcoming competitions.

Caique’s posting of photos wearing the Vietnam national team jersey also reflects the special affection he has for the country and the club he currently plays for.

As Nam Dinh prepares to face a very challenging period with a packed schedule, Caique’s quick adaptation and the strong unity among players are positive signs for the team’s regional ambitions.
