On 21 March 2024, he scored a goal during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Syria which gave Myanmar a shock lead in their 1–1 draw.

Style of play

Soe is a physically strong player who can score from powerful headers. However, he can get aggressive at times, noticeably in the Asian Cup Qualifiers, where he tackled a Tajikistan player inside the 18-yard box and gave his opponents a goal, and also saw him get a red card.
