Que Ngoc Hai


Hải was named in the national men’s football team to compete against Chinese Taipei on March 24 and Iraq on March 29 in the World Cup’s qualifying round.

The 25-year-old Hai has just returned to football after serving a six-month ban.

He received the ban after a horrific sliding tackle in the V.League 1 match between Nghe An and Da Nang last September.

Hai was only issued a yellow card for the reckless lunge, which was a potential leg-breaking challenge, on Danang's Tran Anh Khoa during the game but he was retrospectively punished for the incident.
