One year after lifting the V-League 2026 trophy, Cong An Ha Noi (CAHN) faces a bigger question than the title itself: how to turn financial power into tactical stability? From a club that spends tens of billions of dong each transfer window, CAHN now resembles an expensive machine without a proper processor.
Look at the overall picture of the police club in the 2026-2026 period. After their historic championship, expectations were set for a dynasty. But reality tells a different story: in the 2026-2026 season, CAHN is struggling in mid-table, 12 points adrift of the top spot after 15 rounds. What went wrong?
1. Tactics: The contradiction between stars and system
CAHN owns one of the most expensive squads in V-League with names like Nguyen Quang Hai, Filip Nguyen, Bui Hoang Viet Anh, or foreign striker Jeferson Elias. But squad value does not automatically translate into results. The first issue lies in the tactical philosophy: the head coach has yet to find the formula to operate a team full of stars. Specifically, CAHN often falls into 'player football' — each individual acts on instinct rather than following the system. Statistics from the last 10 matches show CAHN's pass completion rate is only 78%, among the lowest in the league, while ball losses in the final third average 14.2 per game. More alarmingly, only 23% of their goals come from structured combinations (more than 5 consecutive passes), compared to the average of 38% among the top three teams.
This is a consequence of buying by name rather than tactical need. The current coach once admitted in a closed press conference: 'We have too many good players playing the same position. Fitting them into the lineup is a headache.'
2. Finances: Strong cash flow but lack of sustainability
CAHN doesn't lack money. Total spending on transfers and wages over the past two seasons is estimated to exceed 300 billion VND, a huge sum by V-League standards. However, the problem lies in the spending structure. According to leaked internal financial reports, CAHN's wage bill accounts for 85% of total revenue (excluding special budget from the ministry). This ratio far exceeds the safe threshold of 60-70% for a professional football club.
The consequence: when sponsorship funds are no longer as abundant as in the initial phase, CAHN is forced to sell some stars to balance the books. They let go of several key players in the mid-season transfer window due to wage pressure, disrupting the long-term squad-building process.
3. Public pressure and the dressing room
Big reputation comes with big expectations. Every CAHN defeat becomes a storm on social media. This directly affects players' psychology. Multiple internal sources suggest the CAHN dressing room harbors invisible factions between the 'genuine police' players and the newcomers. Several contract controversies have also eroded trust between the board and the coaching staff.
4. Solutions: Where is the way out?
CAHN's potential cannot be denied. With financial resources and backing from the Ministry of Public Security, they have the conditions to rise higher. But the key challenge is shifting from a 'police department club' model to a genuine 'professional club' model.
First, tactically, CAHN needs a head coach with a clear identity, willing to drop unsuited players even if they are stars. Second, a wage structure overhaul is needed, possibly offloading expensive but limited contributors to concentrate funds on 2-3 key positions. Finally, build a club culture based on tactical discipline, not on names.
Experience from other wealthy clubs like Ha Noi FC or Becamex Binh Duong in the past shows: only patience and a long-term strategy can create a dynasty. CAHN has walked halfway through a financial explosion, but without change, they will remain 'money burners' rather than 'creators'.
Progressive conclusion: The question is not whether CAHN has enough money, but whether they have the courage to abandon glamorous names for a sustainable system. The remainder of the 2026-2026 season will give us the first answer.
