Vozinha signs 18-month contract with Colo Colo

Cape Verde's veteran goalkeeper Vozinha, who became a global sensation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has agreed to join Chilean top-flight club Colo Colo. The 40-year-old free agent is set to sign an 18-month contract with the Santiago-based club, which currently leads Chile's Primera Division.

Colo Colo president Aníbal Mosa confirmed the agreement on July 25, stating that the final details are being finalized. He said Vozinha will travel to Chile in the coming days to undergo medical examinations before being officially presented at the club's Estadio Monumental. Mosa acknowledged that the goalkeeper's World Cup performances warranted the move and that his significant popularity adds marketing appeal for the club.

Vozinha attended the World Cup without a club after his contract with Portuguese second-division side GD Chaves expired at the end of the 2025-26 season. He became an overnight star during the tournament, most notably in Cape Verde's opening match, a 0-0 draw against eventual champions Spain.
