Van Quyet was selected as the Best Player of the V. League 2020 and the Best Player of the Club. He played all 20 matches and scored 5 goals in the league. The 20-year-old player was also included in the outstanding team of the season.
The Silver Ball Award went to Viettel FC’s mid-fielder Bui Tien Dung while the Bronze Ball Award was won by Que Ngoc Hai, another Viettel FC mid-fielder. The duo performed prominently, helping Viettel keep clean sheets in five out of seven final matches and clinch the V. League championship title.
In the women category, striker Huynh Nhu secured the Golden Ball Award. The female player excelled in 2020, winning the national championship and National Cup titles together with HCM City FC team-mates.
The Vietnam Football Federation also handed over the Golden Ball Award to Thai Son Nam’s Nguyen Minh Tri in the Futsal category.
