International career
In July 2019, it was reported that Nguyen, who is of Vietnamese descent, was in the process of becoming naturalized as a Vietnamese citizen, which would allow him to represent their national team for the succeeding 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[4]
In September 2020, Filip 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 Republic squad, all players and the coaching staff which faced Slovakia on 4 September had to be replaced.[5]
