HÀ NỘI — Player Trần Long Vũ has decided to retire after a successful Futsal World Cup in Colombia.

The 28-year-old plays for national champions Thái Sơn Nam Club. He is one of the most experienced members of the national team. He has been contemplating retirement for a while because of injuries suffered during competitions.
