Match-fixing scandal
During the 2014 V.League 1 season, Vissai Ninh Bình wrote to the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) and to the Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company to withdraw from the league due to 13 players being involved in match fixing.[2] On August 25 of the year, Trần found guilty of the charge and was sentenced to 30 months in prison for being the groups ring-leader. In December, the VFF banned Trần for life from playing football in the country.[3]
