HCMC Police FC recruits a player who developed through Real Madrid's system.

The Hanoi Police Football Club has officially acquired Juanjo Narvaez, a footballer who played several seasons in Spain and was developed in Real Madrid's organization.

On the morning of August 13, HCMC Police FC announced Juanjo Narvaez as their next new signing ahead of the 2026/27 season. The Colombian player signed a contract after a trial period with the club.

Juanjo Narvaez's full name is Juan Jose Narváez Solarte, born on February 12, 1995, in Pasto, Colombia. He holds dual Colombian and Spanish citizenship. The 31-year-old stands at 1.80 meters tall and can play as an attacking midfielder or forward.

A notable point in Narvaez's career is his development period at Real Madrid. He played for Real Madrid C before being promoted to Real Madrid Castilla, the reserve team of the Spanish royal club.

According to BDFutbol data, Narvaez made 29 appearances for Castilla over three seasons from 2013/14 to 2015/16, scoring 4 goals. He was only 18 years old when he made his debut for Castilla in November 2013.

After leaving Real Madrid, Narvaez joined Real Betis and had the opportunity to play in La Liga. Notably, his debut in the top Spanish league took place on August 20, 2017, when Betis visited Barcelona at Camp Nou.

Most of Narvaez's subsequent career was in Spanish football. The 1995-born player has worn the shirts of Córdoba, Almería, Las Palmas, Real Zaragoza, Valladolid, Leganés, and Cartagena. His long experience in Spain is one of the notable points in the profile of the new foreign player for HCMC Police. Before arriving in the V-League, Narvaez moved to Saudi Arabia to play for Al-Jabalain and Al-Raed.

The addition of Juanjo Narvaez shows that HCMC Police is actively strengthening its squad ahead of the new season.

With his ability to play in multiple attacking positions and his experience in Spain, Narvaez is expected to add more creativity and attacking options to the team.
