Trần Ngọc Sơn (born 27 January 2003) is a Vietnamese professional footballer who plays as a winger for V.League 2 club PVF-CAND, on loan from Thép Xanh Nam Định.

Club career

Born in Nam Định, Ngọc Sơn was a youth product of his local team Nam Định FC.[2] In 2021, he was promoted to Nam Định's first team but only made his debut an year later. On 7 August 2022, he scored his first V.League 1 goal in his team's 2–1 victory against Hồ Chí Minh City.[3]

In the 2023 season, Ngọc Sơn appeared in 13 matches and scored 3 goals. Therefore, he was nominated for the "Best young player of the season" award but lost to Nguyễn Thái Sơn.[4][5]

In August 2024, due to lack of game time at Nam Định, Ngọc Sơn joined V.League 2 side PVF-CAND on a one-year loan deal.[6]

International career

In August 2023, Ngọc Sơn was named Vietnam U23's preliminary squad for the 2023 AFF U-23 Championship but was not included in the final squad.[7]

In March 2024, Ngọc Sơn received his first call up to the Vietnam national team for the World Cup qualifiers games against Indonesia.[8]
