Club career[edit]
Nguyen played youth football with Loko Vltavín and Sparta Prague, joining the latter in 2012.[3] On 20 October 2013, Nguyen appeared in the Sparta first-team squad for the first-team, being an unused substitute for a Czech First League home win over city rivals Dukla Prague.[2] He departed the club in 2015 to play for SK Union Čelákovice.[3] 2016 saw Nguyen complete a move to Czech National Football League side Vlašim.[2] He made his professional debut for Vlašim v. Karviná on 26 March.[2] Forty-two appearances followed across his first three seasons.[2] In February 2018, Slovan Liberec completed the signing of Nguyen; signing until 2021.[4][5]
Cong An Ha Noi[edit]
On 28 June 2023, Nguyen signed for V.League 1 club Cong An Ha Noi on a three-year contract.[6][7] Nguyen made his league debut for the club on 2 July 2023, in a 0–1 loss against SHB Da Nang at Hòa Xuân Stadium.[8] His first season with CAHN ended in success, as they won the V.League 1 title.[9]
In 6 December 2023, Nguyen received approval to naturalise as a Vietnamese citizen.[10][11]
International career[edit]
Filip Nguyen is eligible to play for Czech Republic or Vietnam at international level.
In July 2019, it was reported that Nguyen was in the process of becoming naturalized as a Vietnamese citizen, which would allow him to represent the country's national team for the succeeding 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[12]
In September 2020, Nguyen received his first call-up to the Czech Republic national team for their UEFA Nations League match against Scotland on 7 September. Due to positive SARS-CoV-2 tests in the previous Czech squad, all players and the coaching staff which faced Slovakia on 4 September had to be replaced.[13][14]
On 6 December 2023, Nguyen announced on his Facebook page that he had successfully completed his Vietnamese naturalization, thus making him eligible to play for Vietnam.[10]
On 25 December 2023, Nguyen was selected in Vietnam's 34-man provisional squad for the 2023 Asian Cup,[15] and later made the final squad.[16] He made his first senior international appearance against Kyrgyzstan in a 1–2 friendly defeat on 9 January 2024 in preparation for the tournament. Nguyen played in all of Vietnam's three matches at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup finals.
