Nam Định takes a special move after a disappointing season

Thép Xanh Nam Định issued a heartfelt message to supporters, thanking them for standing by the team during a season that did not meet hopes.

Closing the 2025/26 season with many regrets, Thép Xanh Nam Định FC sent a deeply emotional letter to its fans as a sincere thank-you for their unwavering companionship throughout the journey. Although the team could not successfully defend the V.League title or make a significant impact in other competitions, the club from Nam Định still received strong support from thousands of fans across the country.

The past season was a challenging journey for coach Vũ Hồng Việt and his players. After two consecutive seasons dominating Vietnamese football, Nam Định entered the 2025/26 season with high expectations. However, the dream of achieving a historic milestone with three consecutive V.League titles did not become reality. In the AFC Champions League Two, Shopee Cup, and the National Cup, the club also failed to reach its set goals.

Nevertheless, what makes the Thép Xanh Nam Định collective proud is not only the on-field results but also the special affection from the fans. In the letter sent to supporters, the club emotionally shared: "We saw in the stands not only moments of celebrating victories but also quiet moments and encouraging applause after defeats. The team understands that it is never alone."

From Thiên Trường Stadium to long away trips, Nam Định fans always appeared in their distinctive yellow, providing extra motivation for the players. Beyond accompanying the team in the V.League, supporters also stood by the club in various localities and even in international arenas. That passion, civility, and enduring love have become a unique part of Nam Định football's identity.

In the letter to fans, the club also emphasized: "Football is not just about victories; it also includes sad days of defeat. What matters is that the team is still there, getting back up to fight, so that Thiên Trường Stadium always stays lit." This is seen as a promise of a strong return after a season that did not meet expectations. The club's leadership also affirmed that they will continue to invest heavily in the squad, facilities, and operations to aim for greater goals in the future.

Closing the emotional letter, Thép Xanh Nam Định thanked all fan clubs and thousands of supporters who have always stood by the team in every situation. For the club from Nam Định, although the past season was not perfect in terms of titles, the love from the Thiên Trường stands remains an invaluable asset. And as the team promised: "More than two months without football, the club will miss the fans dearly. We'll see each other in V-League 2026/27."
