Nguyễn Xuân Son, the name that has stirred the Vietnamese football community, has proven his outstanding talent with a significant increase in transfer value after the AFF Cup 2024. From an initial valuation of €500,000 before the tournament, the Brazilian-born striker is now valued at €700,000 by Transfermarkt—a remarkable milestone in his career.

The Rise of Nguyễn Xuân Son
Xuân Son joined Vietnamese football five years ago with an initial valuation of €200,000. However, his journey since then has been nothing short of inspiring. At the 2024 AFF Cup, he played a crucial role in Vietnam’s success and solidified his position as the most valuable player on the national team. If he maintains his current form, Xuân Son could become the first Vietnamese player to reach a market value of €1 million.
Currently, he leads the list of the most valuable players on the Vietnamese national team. In second place is goalkeeper Nguyễn Filip, whose value has dropped from €550,000 to €500,000 due to lack of playing time under Coach Kim Sang Sik. Previously, in 2019, Filip reached a peak valuation of €950,000.
The Overall Value of the Vietnamese National Team
The 2024 AFF Cup not only boosted Xuân Son’s value but also improved the market values of several other players:
- Tiến Linh: Increased to €350,000.
- Duy Mạnh: New valuation at €325,000.
- Thành Chung, Xuân Mạnh, and Bùi Vĩ Hào: All valued at €300,000.
However, not everyone experienced the same fortune. Despite an impressive performance at the 2024 AFF Cup, Hoàng Đức saw his value drop to €300,000 due to his decision to play in the Vietnamese First Division League.

Comparison with Regional Teams
The current total value of the Vietnamese national team stands at €7.6 million, slightly lower than Thailand’s €8.4 million. However, the true standout is Indonesia, leading Southeast Asia with a value close to €28 million. With a roster rich in experience thanks to naturalized players, Garuda aims high for a World Cup qualification spot. To achieve this, they appointed Coach Patrick Kluivert to replace Shin Tae Yong.
Conclusion
The 2024 AFF Cup was more than just a stage for Vietnamese players to assert themselves; it also opened doors for them to enhance their international market value. Nguyễn Xuân Son is the clearest example of this remarkable progress. With his existing potential, he promises to continue making significant impacts in the future. Stay tuned for more memorable moments from Xuân Son and the Vietnamese national team!
