President: Vozinha to sign for Colo Colo after stellar World Cup

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha has signed a contract with Chilean club Colo Colo following a breakout performance at the 2026 World Cup. The 40-year-old athlete caught global attention for his saves against major teams, including Spain and Argentina. His performance during the tournament was a highlight for fans of the sport.

Colo Colo president Anibal Mosa confirmed the deal, stating that the goalkeeper will travel to Santiago in the coming days to complete medical exams. The agreement is for an 18-month term. This signing marks a significant move for the club as they look to build on their roster with an experienced player who demonstrated his capabilities on the biggest stage.

Vozinha was without a club during the World Cup, making his success even more notable. His presence in the tournament helped lead Cape Verde to the round of 32, where they eventually fell to Argentina in extra time. The move has generated excitement among Colo Colo supporters, as the club works to secure a player who proved he can stand up to the best strikers in the world.

The goalkeeper's rise during the event was rapid and historic for his nation. His social media profile saw a massive surge in popularity during the competition, growing from fewer than 50,000 followers to nearly 29 million. His transition to the Chilean league is expected to draw interest from fans across South America who watched his displays of athleticism throughout the World Cup matches.
