On the afternoon of September 7, 2026, one day after Nam Dinh FC's 4-0 victory over Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the opening round of V.League, striker Nguyen Xuan Son was officially rewarded with a 600 million VND electric SUV and 100 million VND in cash. This reward is seen as recognition for his impressive performance while helping Vietnam defend the ASEAN Cup 2026 title. At the tournament, Xuan Son made 8 appearances and scored 5 goals, sharing the top scorer award with Nguyen Dinh Bac. He scored a brace in the second leg of the semi-final against Malaysia, helping Vietnam reach the final and eventually win the title. The momentum from national-team success quickly translated into a convincing club performance. In the V.League opener, Nam Dinh defeated Hoang Anh Gia Lai 4-0, with Xuan Son scoring in injury time to seal the score. That result put Nam Dinh top of the table after round 1.
