Squad31 Aug 2026

Vladislav Ignatjev stands alone

11 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match26 Aug 2026

FCI Tallinn out of the cup

Nomme Kalju ended it 0‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Fee done, terms next for Johannes Lillemets

FCI Tallinn and Nomme Kalju have settled on $28.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Sander Ojamaa puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at FCI Tallinn, and it is not being withdrawn.

Flora tell FCI Tallinn: Maksim Kalimullin is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Silver Mets faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Silver Mets after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at FCI Tallinn

Valeri Shantenkov was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

A loan move for Mark Hendrik Kukk is in the works

FCI Tallinn have made the call to Flora. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

FCI Tallinn try to borrow Mihkel Pikk

Tulevik have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Andero Kaares due for a FCI Tallinn medical

Everything agreed with Flora, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Aleksander Iljin signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Aleksander Iljin and FCI Tallinn agree another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at FCI Tallinn training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aleksander Iljin is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market10 Aug 2026

FCI Tallinn promote Erik Igonen from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Erik Igonen has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Sander Ojamaa joins the FCI Tallinn first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Sander Ojamaa is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Ken Ainsalu steps up from the FCI Tallinn academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ken Ainsalu has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
