Club career

Le Giang was born in Lučenec. He started off his career in Fiľakovo. He joined the Žilina youth system when he was fifteen. In 2011, he was promoted to the first team of MŠK Žilina. In July 2011, he joined Slovak club Zemplín Michalovce[2] on a one-year loan from Žilina. Patrik made his debut for Michalovce against LAFC Lučenec on 23 July 2011.[3] In June 2012, Le Giang returned to Žilina after his loan spell in Michalovce expired. Le Giang played his first match for Žilina on 15 May 2013 against ViOn Zlaté Moravce.

International career

Although born in Slovakia and available to play for Slovakia, he is also available to represent for Vietnam due to his origin, as well as he also possesses Vietnamese citizenship.[4] He has played for the U19 Slovakia before representing its U21 team, as well as capping for the U23 Vietnam team.[4]

Due to Vietnam's rising successes in football competition since 2019, there have been attempts to recruit the goalie into the Vietnamese team, but it is not clear will he decide to represent Vietnam or not.[5]

Recognitions

On 16 November 2021, FIFPro has awarded Le Giang Merit Award for charitable contributions.[6]
