The complicated development of COVID-19 has caused many problems for Khanh Hoa FC and other teams in travelling and practicing. However, Khanh Hoa FC have tried to look for quality training sessions in order to help their players to regain form and brace themselves for the new season. Recently, Khanh Hoa FC was invited to participate in Binh Duong Television Cup 2021 in Binh Duong Province from December 17 to 25. This tournament was considered as a preparation tournament before the new season starts. Joining the tournament were Binh Duong, Saigon, Ba Ria Vung Tau, Nam Dinh, and Khanh Hoa FC.
Khanh Hoa FC won Saigon 2-1 thanks to a brace of Le Duy. In the draw with Nam Dinh, two goals of Khanh Hoa FC were scored by the two new faces Thanh Phong and Minh Khai. Finally, Khanh Hoa FC finished third with one win, two draws, and one loss (5 points). After the tournament in Binh Duong, Khanh Hoa FC returned to Nha Trang and played two friendlies with Becamex Binh Duong on December 30, 2021 and January 1, 2022.
At the review conference of the national professional football tournaments organized at the end of 2021, Vietnam Professional Football Joint Stock Company (VPF) proposed plans for V.League 1 and V.League 2 which are expected to kick off in early February.
