Now: Vozinha finally joins Colo-Colo after delayed arrival

Colo-Colo have finally confirmed the arrival of Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, who was announced on the 24th but repeatedly postponed his move to Chile; the 40‑year‑old landed in Santiago on Sunday night, ending a week‑long wait that saw Moroccan side Berkane also linked to the deal.

The club’s announcement on the 24th sparked interest from Moroccan club Berkane, which entered the race for the 40‑year‑old keeper.

Josimar José Évora Dias touched down in Santiago on Sunday night, receiving a warm welcome that cemented his place at Colo-Colo.

Colo-Colo managed to bypass Chile’s ban on nicknames on shirts, allowing Vozinha to keep his moniker on the kit.

It is rumored that Vozinha commands the second‑highest salary at the club, which currently leads the Chilean Championship and is aiming to return to the Libertadores.

The goalkeeper was a standout for Cape Verde at the last World Cup, influencing qualification with draws against Spain and Uruguay and delivering a strong performance in the extra‑time defeat to Argentina.

After a CazéTV campaign boosted his Instagram following from around 50,000 to 29.5 million – more than any Brazil Série A team – his social‑media clout arrives with him at Colo-Colo.

With his high profile and experience, Vozinha adds both on‑field quality and off‑field influence as Colo‑Colo pursues continental success.
