The announcement came just one day after Adou Minh delivered an impressive performance alongside Tran Dinh Trong, helping the club secure a 2-0 victory over Adelaide and book a historic place in the group stage of the AFC Champions League Elite.
The acquisition of Vietnamese citizenship makes the 1997-born center-back eligible for selection to the Vietnam national team.
If head coach Kim Sang-sik includes him in the squad for the ASEAN Cup this September, Adou Minh could strengthen Vietnam’s defense and potentially form a formidable partnership with Doan Van Hau and Bui Hoang Viet Anh.
Such a combination would build on the chemistry and understanding developed at Hanoi Police FC, which helped the club win the 2025-26 V.League 1 title.
