The Hanoi Football Club Reserves & Academy () are the reserve team and academy of Vietnamese team Hanoi FC, based in Hanoi. The team recently won the promotion to the 2026–27 V.League 2, but transferred their participation slot to Thái Nguyên.
History and operations After Hanoi T&T Football Club was established in 2006, the team's youth academy was inaugurated. The academy received training for a large number of players from the Hanoi Sports Center in Gia Lâm, Hanoi. In 2012, the academy merged with the VSH Academy owned by former Vietnamese international Văn Sỹ Hùng in Nghệ An and turned it into a satellite academy of the main academy. The VSH branch would only train players under-15 and promised young talents would be transferred to the Hanoi Center for higher training. In 2022, the club opened another satellite youth academy in Bắc Giang.
Hanoi FC sent many scouts to many localities in the North. Scouts closely followed youth tournaments in many provinces to discover players with high potential from the age of 11 to welcome them into the centralized accommodation at Hanoi's youth training center.
The team's training method is done scientifically, with connections between the age categories, ensuring the continuous and unified development of the players. The team builds a tight connection with its satellite academies, unifying the playing style of the players and the management apparatus. All exercises and development plans are aimed at building the football philosophy of the club's first team. The coaches in the Hanoi FC youth academy are required to have at least an AFC Pro Diploma.
With several achievements at Vietnamese youth football tournaments and the number of alumni players that became Vietnamese internationals, the Hanoi FC football academy is considered as one of the best football academies in Vietnam and in Southeast Asia. In the 2023 V.League 1 season, the Hanoi FC academy had the most former academy players competing in the league.
