With Xuan Son's contributions in the recent ASEAN CUP season, the viewpoint on using naturalized players for the Vietnam National Team has turned to support and openness. Jason Quang Vinh is in this case.

Jason Quang Vinh Pendant or Jason Pendant was born on February 9, 1997 in Sarcelles, of French-Vietnamese descent with a father of French origin of Martinique and a mother of Vietnamese descent. The 27-year-old player plays as a central defender and left-back.

Jason Quang Vinh Pendant started his football career at local club Sarcelles AAS before joining Sochaux, a club that has spent most of its time in Ligue 2 and has produced talented players such as El-Hadji Diouf, Jeremy Menez, Yannick Stopyra and Bernard Genghini. After impressive performances for the Sochaux first team in the 2016/17 season, he was signed by the club's management to a professional contract.

On January 23, 2018, Jason Quang Vinh Pendant scored his first goal since turning professional, after scoring for Sochaux against Colomiers in the Coupe de France and was voted the club's player of the month. When coach Park Hang-seo came to "watch his legs", he was still playing for Sochaux.

On March 10, 2020, Jason Quang Vinh Pendant completed his transfer to the New York Red Bulls in the MLS. On July 11, the male player made his debut for the New York Red Bulls in a 1-0 win over Atlanta United.

After an unsuccessful period of playing in MLS, on July 12, 2022, Jason Quang Vinh Pendant decided to return home to play for Quevilly Rouen, a club playing in Ligue 2. Here, he is considered an irreplaceable pillar of the team in western France.

The defender born in 1997 is also a member of the Quevilly Rouen executive committee. In August 2023, the French team awarded Jason the number 7 shirt, as a recognition of the 26-year-old's contribution. Specifically, he played in 32 matches for Quevilly Rouen and had 1 assist, valued by Transfermarkt at 700,000 euros.

After the contract with Quevilly Rouen expired, Jason Quang Vinh Pendant joined Hanoi Police Club on a free transfer on August 1, 2024, with a 2-year contract and continued to wear the number 7 shirt.

Jason Quang Vinh Pendant began to attract the attention of Vietnamese fans in 2019 not only because of his ideal profile but also because of his middle name "Quang Vinh". With most Vietnamese-American players of mixed blood, the public usually only sees the Vietnamese part of the name if the player's father is Vietnamese, then he will have a Vietnamese surname.

However, the word "Quang Vinh" in Jason's name partly shows that the family of the defender born in 1997 always looks towards his homeland and is also a reminder to the player himself that he has Vietnamese blood flowing in him.

At the same time, Jason Quang Vinh Pendant repeatedly expressed his desire to wear the Vietnamese national team jersey and was ready to devote himself to his mother's homeland. The player even used his own money to go to Singapore to cheer for the Vietnamese national team at the AFF Cup 2020. Over the years, he has hired a Vietnamese tutor to improve his communication skills.

Joining the Hanoi Police, Jason Quang Vinh Pendant hopes to soon have Vietnamese citizenship and contribute to the "Golden Star Warriors". "I am very happy to be here and participate in the contract signing ceremony with the Hanoi Police Club. I will try my best to contribute, or even further, have the opportunity to wear the Vietnam national team jersey. I will try my best every day, practice and compete hard to compete for a position at the club and wait for the opportunity at the Vietnam national team. I will try my best every day", he shared on the day of his club debut.

At the end of October 2024, Hanoi Police began to promote the naturalization process for the overseas Vietnamese defender. Meanwhile, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) also "gave the green light" to support Jason Quang Vinh Pendant to soon achieve his wish.

The VFF highly appreciates Jason's ability and hopes that with his experience in two strong football leagues in the world, France and the US, this player can contribute to the Vietnam national team in the near future. However, due to some problems and urgent paperwork, he will not be able to obtain Vietnamese nationality before the ASEAN Cup 2024.

In March this year, the Vietnamese team will begin their journey to qualify for the 2027 Asian Cup with a home match against Laos. In the next 2 months, if Jason Quang Vinh Pendant is naturalized in time, coach Kim Sang-sik will have another quality option on the left wing.

Currently, this position of the Vietnam team has Khuat Van Khang, Nguyen Van Vi, but they are not the optimal choices like when Van Hau was still playing. With his outstanding performance in the Hanoi Police uniform, integrating very well and helping the left wing to be more mobile, stronger and safer, Jason Quang Vinh Pendant is the most suitable candidate to replace the Doan defender.

Mr. Tran Anh Tu - Vice President of VFF emphasized that: "Jason Quang Vinh is a potential player. He is quite young and plays in the position that needs to be strengthened, which is the full-back left by Doan Van Hau. Although VFF has provided a lot of support, many factors are needed for Van Hau to recover and return. This is a very difficult case.

If we have Quang Vinh, I think Van Hau's vacant position will be filled, which is good for the team. However, we still have to consider whether Quang Vinh is suitable for the coach's tactics or not. If so, he will definitely be called. Currently, the Hanoi Police club is promoting to start applying for naturalization for Quang Vinh."
