Early career

However, he was released by the team in 2018 due to unsatisfactory physical condition with his height being only 1.50 m. In 2019, he followed his parents and moved to Quảng Nam province. Here, he joined the youth academy of Quảng Nam.[3][4]
Club career
editQuảng Nam
editĐình Bắc made his senior debut for Quang Nam's reserve side in the 2022 Vietnamese Second League. In the match against SHB Đà Nẵng's reserve, he showed disrespectful behavior towards the referee and was consequently suspended for three games by the Vietnam Football Federation.[5] Despite missing a few games, he scored a total of 6 goals during the season and helped his team finished 4th in their group.
In the second half of the 2022 V.League 2 season, Đình Bắc was promoted to the senior team but didn't make any appearance.[6] He made his first team debut on 1 April 2023 in his Quảng Nam's Vietnamese Cup game against his hometown club Sông Lam Nghệ An. Đình Bắc played full 90 minutes and scored in the penalty-shootout, winning 4–3 for his team after the game was tied 1–1.[7] On 22 July 2023, he scored his first V.League 2 goal against PVF-CAND in a 2–0 win.[8] A month after, he scored the first haul in his career in Quảng Nam's 7–1 V.League 2 win against Bình Thuận.[9] After 12 matches, Đình Bắc had 8 goals and 7 assists making him the second highest goal scorer of the team during the season, as his team was crowned as V.League 2 champion. Đình Bắc was also given the V.League 2 "Player of the season" award, therefore became the youngest player to win it.[10]
On 2 December 2023, he scored his first V.League 1 goal from a penalty kick in a 4–4 draw against his hometown club Sông Lam Nghệ An.[11] On 21 February 2024, Quảng Nam's head coach Văn Sỹ Sơn announced that Đình Bắc would be suspended by the club and sent to train with the youth team due to repeated violations of discipline.[12] Đình Bắc later publicly apologized for his behavior and was ruled out of Quảng Nam's squad for three league games in a row. He made his return on 4 March 2024 in Quảng Nam's 1–1 draw against Quy Nhơn Bình Định.[13] After the injury he picked up from the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, Đình Bắc sat out during two months and in the last two matchdays of the league against Hồ Chí Minh City and Thép Xanh Nam Định, where he both entried the last as a substitute player.[14]
Collapsed loan deal to Hà Nội
editOn 9 March 2024, Hà Nội announced the signing of Nguyễn Đình Bắc from Quảng Nam on loan with a duration of 1.5 years.[15] Despite the Hà Nội's announcement of his signature, Đình Bắc had not officially signed a contract with the club. On 13 March, the deal eventually collapsed as both sides failed to find a common agreement.[16]
Công An Hà Nội
editOn 21 August 2024, Đình Bắc joined V.League 1 fellow Công An Hà Nội.[17] He made his debut with the team on 23 August 2024, entering the field in the 70th minute to replace Phan Văn Đức in Công An Hà Nội's 2–1 home victory against Buriram United, as part of the 2024–25 ASEAN Club Championship.[18]

In April 2024, Đình Bắc was named in Vietnam U23's squad for the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, held in Qatar.[22] In the first group stage game against Kuwait, he suffered a ankle ligament injury after tackling an opponent player, and was subbed out in the 10th minute of the game. He missed the rest of the tournament as Vietnam reached the quarter-finals.[23]
Senior
editIn October 2023, Đình Bắc received his first call up to the Vietnam national team. He made his international debut on 10 October 2023, in Vietnam's 0–2 defeat against China, thus making him the first 2004 born player to appear for his national team.[24] On 16 November 2023, he scored his first goal for national team in a 2–0 win over Philippines as part of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification.[25]

Playing style
editĐình Bắc is a versatile player who can play well as a winger, as a striker, as well as an attacking midfielder. These capacities allow him to operate both as a goalscorer and a playmaker. His fast, technical and energetic dribbling ability, as well as his agility in close spaces made him a major offensive threat. He also possesses strength in his hamstrings and quads, allowing him to remain balanced after physical challenges and make breakthrough runs past the opponent.[20] His playing style similars Đinh Thanh Trung, who won the 2017 Vietnamese Golden Ball.[28][29][30]
