FLC Thanh Hoa

Hồng Quân made his highly anticipated debut in the V.League 1 when he signed with FLC Thanh Hóa before Matchday 12 of the 2013 season.[2] However, after a poor start to the 2014 V.League 1 season, Thanh Hóa released Hồng Quân.[3]

International career

In June 2012, Mạc Hồng Quân was invited to train with the Vietnam U22 by the Vietnam Football Federation after being scouted by the Vietnam U19's coach Mai Đức Chung. He was selected for the final roster for the 2013 AFC U-22 Championships qualifiers.[4]

On 15 September 2014, the underdogs Vietnam thrash Iran 4-1 in shock win in the men's football event of the 2014 Asian Games. Hong Quan assisted the first and scored the second goal after passing two Iran defenders before defeating goalkeeper Sedghi. He was praised by the Vietnamese media for his movement and ability to find space in dangerous areas.[5]
