Standout performer earns European move
Iboro Sunday, 20, has been recruited from Beyond Limits Football Academy, a Nigerian National League (NNL) side known for developing top prospects.
His performances at the Viareggio Cup in Italy, where he was named the tournament’s best defender, played a crucial role in attracting the attention of European clubs.
Beyond Limits FA, in a statement on social media, expressed their pride in his progression, congratulating the young defender on securing a move to one of Estonia’s most successful teams.
Victory has been a model of hard work and dedication, and we are confident he will continue to grow at Levadia Tallinn, the academy stated.
Levadia’s commitment to young talent
FCI Levadia Tallinn, 11-time Estonian champions, have built a reputation for nurturing emerging talents, and Iboro Sunday’s arrival reflects their strategy of investing in young, high-potential players.
The Estonian top-flight club, which has a history of competing in European qualifiers, will provide the Nigerian defender with a platform to develop further and gain valuable experience at the professional level.
Levadia are currently in the midst of their domestic campaign and will be hoping Iboro Sunday can add defensive solidity to their backline.
His strong performances in Nigeria’s second tier, coupled with his standout display in Italy, suggest he has the attributes to make an impact in European football.
A promising future
For Iboro Sunday, this move represents an important step in his career as he embarks on his first professional stint in Europe.
As he adapts to a new league and environment, the Nigerian defender will aim to establish himself in Levadia’s first team and continue his upward trajectory.
With his talent and determination, he could soon be a player to watch, not only in Estonia but beyond, as he looks to follow in the footsteps of other Nigerian defenders who have successfully transitioned to European football.
