In 2019, he joined Hà Nội FC, where he was the back up goalkeeper for Nguyễn Văn Công. In his only season with the team, he made five appearances including three in V.League 1 matches and two in the AFC Cup, winning the league title and the national cup with his team.[1]

In January 2020, Tiến Dũng signed for Hồ Chí Minh City, signing a three-year contract. In December 2022, he terminated his contract with the club to search for game time.[2]

In January 2023, Tiến Dũng joined Công An Hà Nội. He only made one appearance during the 2023 V.League 1 season as his team won the league title.[3]

In February 2024, in search for more game time, Tiến Dũng joined V.League 1 fellow LPBank HAGL on a loan deal until the end of the season.[4]

International career

edit

Tiến Dũng was part of the Vietnam U19 squad that reached the semi-finals in the 2016 AFC U-19 Championship, thus qualified for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[5]

In 2017, he was named in Vietnam U20's squad for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[6] He started in all three group stage games, kept one clean sheet in the goalless draw against New Zealand and saved a penalty from Jean-Kévin Augustin in the 0–4 defeat against France, as Vietnam failed to reach the knockout stage and got eliminated from the group stage.[7]

In January 2018, Tiến Dũng was included in Vietnam U23's 23-men squad for the 2018 AFC U-23 Championship. In the opening match against South Korea, he saved a panenka penalty shot by the opponent but failed to save the team from a 1–2 loss.[8] In the next two group stage matches, he kept two clean sheets against Australia and Syria, playing an important role to help Vietnam qualify for the first time in their history to the tournament's quarter-finals.[9] At the quarter-finals game against Iraq, Tiến Dũng saved Bashar Resan's attempt in the penalty shoot-out, helping Vietnam reach the semi-finals after the game had ended in a 3–3 draw after extra time.[10] In the semi-final game against Qatar, U-23 Vietnam excelled in a 2-2 draw after extra time and sent the match to a penalty shootout. Tiến Dũng was once again the hero of his team after saving two penalties from Qatar players, helping the home team win 4-3 in the penalty shootout and advance to the final.[11] However, in the final, Vietnam lost to Uzbekistan after conceding a last minute goal in the extra time and finished as runner-up.[12] Aftermath, Tiến Dũng was considered a national hero by Vietnamese media and gained big popularity in Vietnam thanks to his outstanding performance and good penalty saving ability during Vietnam U23's historical campaign.[13][14]

In November 2018, Tiến Dũng was part of Vietnam national team squad that won the 2018 AFF Championship, Vietnam's first title after 10 years. He was the team's third choice goalkeeper, thus didn't make any appearance during the tournament.[15]

He made his international debut in a friendly game against North Korea on 25 December 2018 which ended in a 1–1 draw.[16] Later, he was named in the squad for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup but didn't appear in any match.[17]
