It is a big accomplishment for the team under the lead of coach Dinh The Nam given numerous challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The team was in dire shortage of players after many players tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, and reinforcements had to be called in from Viet Nam to fill in the gap.
