Nigeria’s U23 Olympic Eagles Star, Promise David says he is in Cloud 7, after joining Nõmme Kalju FC of Estonia, on a three year deal.

David, who joined from Siren FC of Malta told www.ckdmedia.ng
that Kalju FC is his third professional club in Europe, and it is truly awesome for him.

He said he feels truly at home since arriving at Kalju, where he has been
the toast of most of the fans.

According to the Nigeria International, his attention was first drawn to Kalju before he moved to Malta to join his last club, but he has kept tabs with the club and is fully aware of its ambition and expectations.

“The club is now 100 years, and being a landmark year, the best way to celebrate this centinary is to win the Estonian championship, so that we can qualify to play in Europe”, David said.

He thanked the management of his new club, for not giving up on him, and believing in him as a player that can fight for the badge, as well as the black and pink colours of the club.

Nõmme Kalju FC, commonly known as Nõmme Kalju, or simply as Kalju, is an Estonian professional football club, based in Nõmme, Tallinn, that competes in the Meistriliiga, the top flight of Estonian football.

The club’s home ground is the Hiiu Stadium, and after 36 games played so far this season, they are joint 3rd on the log, which has 10 teams, with 65 points, a whopping 32 points adrift of the table toppers, Flora FC.

David was part of the U-23 team that progressed to the final round of the U-23 AFCON Qualifiers, after eliminating Tanzania’s U-23 Taifa Stars.

He was part of the first leg that ended in a barren draw in Der es Salaam, capital of Tanzania.

Promise David has been nicknamed ‘BAT’ by fans and admirers of his club, because of his exploits for the team.

With 29 days to the 2026 All Africa Challenge Trophy (AACT), Nigeria is stepping up preparations to host the continental women’s team golf championship, with the extensive rehabilitation of the IBB International Golf and Country Club in Abuja providing a major boost to the country’s readiness.

In a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja Director of Communication AACT 2026, Kayode Adeniyi said the Club’s Board of Trustees has assured that the facility will be fully prepared to welcome golfers, officials and delegates from across Africa when the championship tees off on November 2.

Chairperson of the Board of Trustees, Hon. Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, CFR, gave the assurance after inspecting ongoing rehabilitation works at the Club, expressing satisfaction with the progress recorded so far.

The IBB International Golf and Country Club has undergone extensive rehabilitation following its closure to regular golfing activities for more than a year. The intervention has focused on the golf course, selected holes, the clubhouse and other key facilities required to provide a befitting venue for the continental championship.

Justice Dongban-Mensem expressed confidence that the rehabilitation programme would be completed in time for the AACT, further reassuring stakeholders that the Club would be ready to host Africa’s leading female golfers.

Chairman of the Club’s Interim Management Committee, Peter Deshi, also expressed optimism over the progress of work, with regular golfing activities expected to resume ahead of the championship.

For the Ladies Golf Association of Nigeria (LGAN), the readiness of the host venue remains a critical component of the country’s preparations.

President of the Association, Dr. Lami Ahmed, has similarly expressed confidence in Nigeria’s preparations to stage a successful championship.

The 2026 AACT is scheduled to take place from November 2 to 7 at the IBB International Golf and Country Club, Abuja.

With the countdown now entering its final month, the rehabilitation of the Club is sending a strong message about Nigeria’s determination to deliver a successful championship and provide a worthy stage for Africa’s finest female golfers.
