Club career
Filip played youth football with Loko Vltavín and Sparta Prague, joining the latter in 2012.[citation needed] On 20 October 2013, Filip appeared in the Sparta first-team squad for the first-team, being an unused substitute for a Czech First League home win over city rivals Dukla Prague. He departed the club in 2015 to play for SK Union Čelákovice.[citation needed] 2016 saw Nguyen complete a move to Czech National Football League side Vlašim. He made his professional debut for Vlašim v. Karviná on 26 March. Forty-two appearances followed across his first three seasons. In February 2018, Slovan Liberec completed the signing of Nguyen; signing until 2021. In the 2022–23 Czech First League, Filip was the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets.

On 28 June 2023, Filip signed for V.League 1 club Công An Hà Nội on a three-year contract. Filip made his league debut for the club on 2 July 2023, in a 0–1 loss against SHB Đà Nẵng at Hòa Xuân Stadium. His first season with the Police team ended in success, as they won the V.League 1 title.
International career
Filip is eligible to play for either the Czech Republic or Vietnam at international level.
In July 2019, it was reported that Filip was in the process of becoming naturalized as a Vietnamese citizen, which would allow him to represent the country's national team for the succeeding 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
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 squad, all players and the coaching staff which faced Slovakia on 4 September had to be replaced.
On 6 December 2023, Filip announced on his Facebook page that he had successfully completed his Vietnamese naturalization, thus making him eligible to play for Vietnam.
