Quế Ngọc Hải (born May 15, 1993 in Vietnam) is a Vietnamese footballer who is a Defender for Sông Lam Nghệ An and the Vietnam national football team.
He scored his first goal for Vietnam in the 2014 AFF Championship in a 2–2 draw with Indonesia.
In a match on 13 September 2015 between Sông Lam Nghệ An and SHB Đà Nẵng a player from the latter team, Trần Anh Khoa, was dribbling into the box at the 21st minute when Ngọc Hải committed a dangerous and reckless tackle to stop the winger. Ngọc Hải was only shown a yellow card by the referee but Anh Khoa had to be substituted and suffered serious injury to his knee ligaments and leg bone because of the tackle. Ngọc Hải was later suspended for 6 months for all football related activities, and was ordered to pay the roughly 800 million đồng for Anh Khoa's medical expenses. Anh Khoa is expected to remain injured for 12 to 18 months and had to travel to Singapore for surgery. Doctors said that there was only a 50% chance of Anh Khoa recovering enough to play professional football again.
Ngọc Hải was born in Diễn Châu District. At an early age his family moved to Vinh because of economical difficulties, where his parents made a living as fruit sellers. Ngọc Hải and his older brother Ngọc Mạnh are very close and attended the Sông Lam Nghệ An football academy together. Ngọc Mạnh suffered a serious knee injury hoever, and with little money the family had to rely on Ngọc Hải to work hard and become professional, both to provide for his family and pay for his brothers surgery.
