CLB Bắc Ninh promoted to V-League 2026-2027 after play-off victory

CLB Bắc Ninh will play in Vietnam's top professional football league, the V-League, starting in the 2026-2027 season. The team secured their promotion by winning a tense play-off match against PVF-CAND. The game, held on June 12 at Ha Tinh Stadium, ended 1-1 after regular time, with Bruno Cantanhede scoring a penalty for Bắc Ninh and Hoàng Vũ Samson equalizing for PVF-CAND.

The decisive moments came during the penalty shootout, where CLB Bắc Ninh emerged victorious with a 5-4 score. Goalkeeper Huỳnh Tuấn Linh was instrumental in the win, saving three penalties. This promotion marks a significant achievement for CLB Bắc Ninh, which was founded only in 2023.

The club's rapid ascent is attributed to substantial investment and the strategic involvement of former national team coach Park Hang Seo as an advisor. Their promotion alongside Trường Tươi Đồng Nai means they will be among the new teams in Vietnam's premier football competition next season.

For PVF-CAND, the loss is a bitter disappointment. They become the first team in V-League history to lose three consecutive play-off matches over five seasons. Their participation in the 2025-2026 V-League season was only secured by acquiring a spot from Quảng Nam FC, which withdrew from the league.
