Hau, 20, is currently a member of SC Heerenveen of the Netherlands after moving on loan from Hanoi FC.

He did not play for the capital side during the run-in, but his performances during his time in Vietnam were enough to secure the title, presented by Vietnam Professional Football Company, which manages local tournaments.

Hau has not played for the Dutch club yet but was a key player for Hanoi FC and still is for the national team.

The defender will fly home next week to join the national squad to prepare for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against the UAE and Thailand.
