At his home in Hanoi’s Dong Anh District that morning, Hai was seen preparing to leave for Huyen’s family home.
On Sunday, he had participated in a national team health check and squad meeting.
Hai, dubbed "Messi of Vietnam" by French media, spoke to the group of people in charge of carrying and presenting the groom’s family gifts to the bride’s family.
The 26-year-old football star used a number of Rolls-Royce and Bentley cars to move around 50 kilometers to his girlfriend’s home in Hanoi's Son Tay District.
Huyen, a social media influencer and business owner, wore a red ao dai, a traditional long dress used for special occasions, as she waited for Hai.
The star midfielder kissed his fiancée. They have been dating since 2021 but rarely discussed their relationship online. The two, however, have been seen together at several public events.
Hai’s mother Duong Thi Cuc was present with him while his father Nguyen Quang Thuan stayed at home to welcome the fiancée when she arrived.
Hai’s friend and star attacker Ha Duc Chinh (R) was seen among the guests.
Hai is one of the most prominent footballers in Vietnam. He has won four V. League titles, two National Cups, and three Super Cup titles, and is a key player on the national team, with whom he won the SEA Games in 2019 and the 2018 AFF Cup title.
He is believed to earn a monthly salary of VND100 million (US$4,100) from Hanoi Police FC, following the termination of his contract with French club Pau FC earlier this year
