Vozinha rose to international prominence during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Cape Verde made their tournament debut. His standout performances, including crucial saves against Spain and Argentina, earned widespread acclaim and helped the African nation punch above their weight on the global stage.
Cape Verde hero Vozinha set to join THIS club after stellar World Cup displays
The veteran shot-stopper, who turned 40 shortly before the competition, became one of the tournament's unexpected heroes. Currently a free agent after his contract with Portuguese second-division side Chaves expired in June, Vozinha brings a wealth of experience from clubs across Europe and Africa, including a successful spell with Cyprus' AEL Limassol.
For Colo Colo, the move represents a pragmatic and eye-catching addition to their squad as they look to bolster their goalkeeping options. The club had pursued other targets, such as Uruguay's Santiago Mele, before turning their focus to the Cape Verde international. President Aníbal Mosa has been a key driver behind the pursuit.
The transfer marks a new chapter for the veteran keeper, who will now ply his trade in South America with one of Chile's most storied clubs. Fans will be eager to see if his World Cup form translates to the demanding Chilean Primera Division.
