Nguyen Xuan Son's family drives to support him at ASEAN Cup semi‑final

Marcele Seippel, the wife of naturalised Brazilian striker Nguyen Xuan Son, drove with their two children from Ninh Binh to Hanoi to watch his match against Cambodia in the ASEAN Cup 2026 semi‑final. The family entered the My Dinh stadium wearing safety harnesses for the boys, a detail that quickly attracted praise from fans on social media.

Son, who captained Vietnam after the departure of Nguyen Quang Hai, has scored two goals in three appearances so far, a modest return compared with his seven‑goal, MVP‑winning performance in the previous edition. Still recovering from a severe leg fracture suffered in the 2022 final, he remains a pivotal hold‑up striker for coach Kim Sang‑sik, providing space for teammates such as Nguyen Dinh Bac and Hoang Hen as Vietnam aims to defend its regional title.
