Vozinha Joins Colo Colo After World Cup Rise
Vozinha, the 40-year-old Cape Verde goalkeeper, has agreed to join Colo Colo in Chile on an 18-month contract after leaving Portuguese side Chaves, with medicals and a presentation at the Estadio Monumental expected soon. His World Cup heroics included a 0-0 draw with Spain and a dramatic 3-2 extra-time defeat to Argentina, propelling him to global fame and causing his social-media followers to surge from about 50,000 to nearly 30 million. Colo Colo president Aníbal Mosa said the move reflects his standout performances and will bring significant marketing value for the club, which currently leads Chile’s top division. He reportedly turned down offers from clubs like Inter Miami despite strong interest. Fabrizio Romano and others confirmed the deal, linking Vozinha with Colo Colo as he joins a squad featuring high-profile teammates such as Arturo Vidal. The transfer has turned Vozinha into a worldwide sensation and increased visibility for both him and Cape Verde’s national team.
