Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha arrives in Chile to complete Colo-Colo move

Cape Verde international goalkeeper Josimar Évora Dias, popularly known as Vozinha, has arrived in Chile ahead of completing his transfer to South American giants Colo-Colo.

The experienced shot-stopper landed in Santiago as he prepares to undergo the final stages of his move, including medical examinations, before being officially unveiled by the Chilean club.

Vozinha’s arrival has generated significant excitement among Colo-Colo supporters following his impressive performances for Cape Verde at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he emerged as one of the tournament’s standout goalkeepers.

The 40-year-old played a key role in Cape Verde’s historic campaign, producing several memorable saves and helping the island nation compete strongly against some of the world’s top teams.

His displays attracted global attention and opened the door for a move to one of Chile’s most successful clubs.

Colo-Colo moved quickly to secure the services of the veteran goalkeeper after he became a free agent following his departure from Portuguese side Chaves.

The club sees his experience, leadership and international pedigree as valuable additions to their squad.

The transfer marks a new chapter in Vozinha’s long career, which has included years of service with the Cape Verde national team.

His move to Chile also represents a remarkable turnaround after entering the World Cup without a club and later becoming one of the tournament’s most talked-about figures.

Once the formalities are completed, Vozinha is expected to join Colo-Colo’s preparations as the club looks to strengthen its squad for the challenges ahead.
