Club career
Hanoi FC
Phi Minh Long grew up from the Hanoi Youth Football Training Center. He was promoted to the first team in 2015. On May 22, 2016, Minh Long made his debut for Hanoi's first team when he started in a 3–0 win over Quang Nam. Returning to the Hanoi club after the 2022 season, Phí Minh Long was not registered to attend 2023 V.League 1. For that reason he expressed his desire to leave.
Loan at Quang Nam
In May 2021, Phi Minh Long was loaned to Quang Nam by the Hanoi FC for the remainder of the 2021 season. After the 2021 season was canceled due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, he continued to stick with Quang Nam for one more season. In the 2022 season, he mainly substituted for goalkeeper Tống Đức An, playing a total of 6 matches in V.League 2 and 2 matches in the National Cup.
PVF-CAND
At the end of February 2023, he went to work at PVF-CAND. On April 2, Phí Minh Long made his PVF-CAND debut when he caught the match against SHB Da Nang in the first round of the 2023 Vietnamese Cup. In this match, he played excellently and became the hero of the home team when he successfully saved 2 penalty kicks to help PVF-CAND continue. Four days later, Minh Long continued to be the main player in the 1–0 victory at Hoa Binh's field in the first round of the 2023 V.League 2.
International career
2014 AFC U-19 Championship
In the last 2 matches of the group stage against Japan and China U19, Phi Minh Long was assigned as the main goalkeeper. He was chosen to replace Le Van Truong in the match against Japan. With excellent saves, Minh Long was praised by coach Guillaume Graechen after the game.
Disaster at 2017 Southeast Asian Games
Minh Long was included in Vietnam U22 squad for the 2017 Southeast Asian Games. On August 24, in the final match of group stage against U22 Thailand, he handled the ball with his hands in the penalty area after a pass from teammate. Due to this mistake, U22 Thailand got an indirect free kick, and Phitiwat Sukjitthammakul scored the opening goal. Later, he made another mistake, jumping off the ground and kicked his defender straight into the face, which led to Thailand's second goal. Vietnam eventually lost 0-3 and was eliminated. He was heavily criticized by the media and since then has never gotten a chance to play for the national team at any level.[2][3]
