Club career
Born in Hà Tây (a part of Hanoi today), Hiểu Minh traveled to Ho Chi Minh City at the age of 9 to participate in PVF Football Academy's entry test. He was later admitted to the team.[2] He was part of the PVF U-19 team that won the Vietnamese U-19 Championship.[3]
In 2022, he was promoted to PVF's first team and made his V.League 2 debut on 12 April 2022, starting in his team's 1–1 draw against Phú Thọ. This made him the youngest player to ever appear in an official match for PVF-CAND.[4] He scored his first career goal on 23 July in his team's 3–0 victory against Huế.[5]
At the end of the 2024–25 season, after establishing himself as the leader in PVF-CAND's defense, Hiểu Minh was named in the V.League 2's Team of the Season and was named as the league's Best Young player of the Season.[6]
International career
In July 2025, Hiểu Minh featured in Vietnam U23's squad for the 2025 ASEAN U-23 Championship.[7] In the opening game against Laos, he scored two goals in the 3–0 win.[8]
On 14 October 2025, Hiểu Minh had his first match for the Vietnam national team, the match against Nepal in the third qualifying round of 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualification.
On 21 January 2026 during the semi-final match against China in the 2026 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, Hiểu Minh broke his knee ligaments after being tackled by Xiang Yuwang. He will have to take 6 to 9 months of abscene during recovery.[9][10][11]
