The 29-year-old played all 20 matches of the season for his team and scored five goals. This is the second time he took his title following the first time two years ago.

His teammate Nguyễn Quang Hải won the award for the best goal which he scored in the match between Hà Nội and Sài Gòn FC early this month.

The best coach was Trương Việt Hoàng of Viettel.

At the ceremony, organisers also presented awards for the best pitch field, fair-play spirit and youth training centre.
