Born to a Vietnamese father and a Czech mother, Filip graduated from Sparta Prague’s youth football academy and played for the club before moving to other domestic clubs including Bydzov, Vlasim, Slova Liberec, and Slovacko.
He was voted the best keeper in the Czech First League in the 2018-19 season.
He was once called up for the Czech Republic national team during their preparation for their 2022 World Cup campaign, but did not get a chance to play, and so remains eligible to play for Vietnam.
During his contract signing ceremony with Hanoi Police Football Club on June 30, he said his aims were to perform well and be called up for the Vietnamese national team.
