Vozinha Joins Colo Colo After World Cup Breakout
Cape Verde’s World Cup star goalkeeper Vozinha has signed an 18-month contract with Chile’s biggest soccer team, Colo Colo. Vozinha, who became one of the most talked-about players at the World Cup with his remarkable saves against top teams such as Spain and Argentina, will arrive in Chile soon to undergo medical examinations and be presented at the Estadio Monumental, Colo Colo’s home stadium in Santiago.
The 40-year-old goalkeeper’s move to Colo Colo follows his standout performance at the World Cup, where he led Cape Verde to a strong run in the tournament until losing to Argentina 3-2 in extra time in the round of 32. Vozinha’s appearance and exposure at the World Cup have seen his social media accounts increase from just under 50,000 to nearly 29 million.
Aníbal Mosa, president of Blanco y Negro, the company that manages Colo Colo, confirmed the signing, stating that Vozinha will travel to Chile in the next few days. The contract was announced on the club’s social media pages, sparking excitement among Colo Colo supporters and across Chile.
The transfer is a significant move for Vozinha, who had no contract with any team during the World Cup. His signing with Colo Colo is expected to bring a new level of excitement to the Chilean soccer scene, particularly after the national team failed to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup.
Colo Colo’s signing of Vozinha is a notable acquisition for the club, and his experience and skills are expected to make a significant impact on the team’s performance. With Vozinha on board, Colo Colo is poised to make a strong push in the upcoming season.
