Cong An Ha Noi's internationals continued to Singapore for the Shopee Cup 2026/27 meeting with Lion City Sailors. October 7 update: VFF's October 6 announcement confirms five travelling players, adding Le Van Do to the four names in the earlier report. Bui Hoang Viet Anh returned home for rest and recovery.
The confirmed travelling group
| Player | Confirmation |
|---|---|
| Cao Pendant Quang Vinh | VFF announcement, October 6 |
| Adou Minh | VFF announcement, October 6 |
| Le Van Do | VFF announcement, October 6 |
| Le Pham Thanh Long | VFF announcement, October 6 |
| Nguyen Dinh Bac | VFF announcement, October 6 |
This is a travel list, not a starting XI or a promise that all five will play. The announcement does not establish Viet Anh's return date.
Match information
| Item | AFF-confirmed information |
|---|---|
| Competition | Shopee Cup 2026/27, Group B |
| Date | Thursday, October 8, 2026 |
| Venue | Jalan Besar Stadium, Singapore |
| Singapore time | 19:30 |
| Vietnam time | 18:30 |
AFF lists 19:30 local time and 11:30 GMT, which KBVN+ converts to 18:30 in Vietnam. This regional fixture should be kept distinct from CAHN's V.League schedule.
Three distinctions that matter
The national-team finale on October 5 and the club fixture on October 8 are three calendar days apart. That is not automatically three days of rest: travel, training and recovery are different demands.
Lion City Sailors coach Mark Jackson won the Shopee Cup with Buriram in May. His record provides context, not a prediction. Group B also includes Port, Persib Bandung, Johor Darul Ta'zim, PKR Svay Rieng and Shan United. AFF says the leading four teams in each group advance to the new quarter-final phase, so an opening match cannot settle qualification.
