Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha has officially arrived in Chile to finalize his transfer to Colo Colo, one of South America’s most storied clubs. The 40-year-old shot-stopper, who became one of the standout performers at the 2026 World Cup, landed amid high expectations.
Vozinha earned widespread praise for keeping clean sheets against powerhouses Spain and Saudi Arabia as Cape Verde made a memorable run to the round of 32 in their tournament debut. The goalkeeper went viral for his stunning performances, and in the FIFA World Cup opener, he held Spain, the eventual winners, to 0-0.

Vozinha joins Colo Colo as a free agent on an 18-month contract, bringing vast experience and leadership to the squad. The move comes after visa complications and a reported late attempt by Moroccan club RS Berkane to hijack the signing. Colo Colo, seeking to strengthen their squad for domestic and continental campaigns, views the veteran as a valuable addition between the posts.
Vozinha is expected to be unveiled by the club in the coming days. The goalkeeper, who gained millions of followers in a night after his performance vs Spain, was a free agent when he came to the limelight. While many eyed the player, Cola Cola was able to seal the deal.
