Former Right2Win Football Academy talent Promise Victor continued his fine form in Latvia’s Virslīga, scoring for FS Jelgava in a 1‑1 draw with FK Tukums 2000. The Nigerian teenager struck early in the second half, capitalising on a defensive mix‑up to fire into the far corner and hand Jelgava the lead.
The match saw Jelgava reduced to ten men after Czech defender Ondřej Ullman was shown a straight red card in the 38th minute. Despite being a player down, Victor’s goal in the 50th minute proved pivotal. Tukums fought back, drawing level through Ingars Pūlis in the 85th minute, and ultimately both teams shared the spoils.
Victor, who arrived at Jelgava from Abia’s Right2Win Academy earlier this year, continues to impress with his composure, skill and eye for goal. His efforts are being seen as part of a broader emergence of Nigerian talent in the Baltic region.

We’re enthused by Promise Victor’s steady rise in Europe. Scoring under pressure, especially while his team was down to ten men, signals maturity beyond his 18 years. That kind of grit lays the foundations for a promising career.
We believe Jelgava’s willingness to start a young Nigerian with such potential is commendable. It’s a testament to how pathways from African academies, like Abia’s Right2Win, can lead directly to European stages. It also speaks to Victor’s work ethic and talent.
We think Victor’s presence brings more than just goals. He represents hope for aspiring Nigerian footballers who dream beyond the continent. His continued growth in the Virslīga could open doors either deeper into Europe or as a catalyst for more young Africans making the move north.
We stand behind this thought Victor’s journey isn’t just his own it’s a beacon for many. When supporters and scouts look into Belarus and Latvia, they’ll now also see a Nigerian teenager carving his own path, reminding us all that talent transcends borders.
