This marks Nguyen Quang Hai's second time receiving this honor, his first being in 2019 while playing for Ha Noi FC. He now shares this achievement with Jose Almeida (2007, 2008) and Nguyen Anh Duc (2014, 2015). He is only one award shy of Le Cong Vinh (2006, 2007, 2008) and Nguyen Van Quyet (2018, 2020, 2022).

CAHN also dominated the V-League individual awards. Mano Polking was named best coach, Alan Sebastiao secured the top scorer title with 16 goals, and Doan Van Hau received the best goal award. This is Alan's second consecutive year winning this title, putting him two awards short of the record held by naturalized Argentine striker Do Merlo.

Nguyen Dinh Bac was recognized as the best young player, having consistently shone in the second half of the season with a streak of 10 goals in six consecutive matches. Tran Minh Vuong (2013, 2014) and Nguyen Quang Hai (2017, 2018) are the two other players who have received this award twice.

CAHN also secured five spots in the typical team of the season, including goalkeeper Nguyen Filip, defender Cao Pendant Quang Vinh, midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai, and forwards Alan and Dinh Bac. Runner-up The Cong contributed Kyle Colonna and Lucao. Third-place Ninh Binh featured Nguyen Hoang Duc. Fourth-place Ha Noi FC had Pham Xuan Manh and Do Hoang Hen. Surprisingly, seventh-place Hai Phong also saw Nguyen Nhat Minh included.

Since the introduction of this award in 2013, this marks Nguyen Quang Hai's sixth appearance in the typical team of the season, following selections in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2024-2025. He is now just one selection short of Nguyen Van Quyet's record.
