Vozinha Joins ColoColo After World Cup Breakout

His rise at the 2026 World Cup gives the Chilean champions a high-profile signing that reshapes the club’s immediate roster options.

Overview

  • ColoColo formally unveiled veteran Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha on Tuesday after signing him as a free agent following his World Cup performances.
  • The 40-year-old left Portuguese side Chaves and said he always saw himself as a 'big club' player, telling reporters ColoColo was his priority when offers arrived.
  • Vozinha’s tournament run included a clean sheet on his World Cup debut and multiple post‑40 clean sheets, performances that drove global attention and commercial interest.
  • ColoColo obtained a one-time ANFP exemption so Vozinha can wear his nickname on the back of his shirt, and reports say a late approach from Morocco’s RS Berkane helped delay final paperwork.
  • The club has signed him on a short initial deal with extension options, he could make his debut soon against Unión La Calera, and the move may boost ColoColo’s merchandising and international profile.
