On 28 June 2023, Filip signed for V.League 1 club Công An Hà Nội on a three-year contract.[6][7] 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.[8] His first season with the Police team ended in success, as they won the V.League 1 title.[9]

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.[13] 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.[14][15][16]

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.[10]
