International career

Nguyen was eligible to play for Czech Republic or Vietnam at international level.

In July 2019, it was reported that Nguyen, who is of Vietnamese descent, was in the process of becoming naturalizsed as a Vietnamese citizen, which would allow him to represent the country's national team for the succeeding 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[6]

In September 2020, Nguyen received his first call-up to the Czech Republic national team for their UEFA Nations League match against Scotland on 7 September. Due to positive SARS-CoV-2 tests in the previous Czech squad, all players and the coaching staff which faced Slovakia on 4 September had to be replaced.[7]
