Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha has completed a move to Chilean side Colo-Colo, following his standout performances at the World Cup. The 40-year-old's journey from Portuguese second division club Chaves to Chile's biggest club is a reminder of the tournament's power to change careers.
Vozinha became a cult hero as Cape Verde secured their first World Cup point against Spain in the group stage. He helped his team reach the knockout stages, taking finalists Argentina to extra time in the last 32.
His impressive displays earned him a spot in Fifa's team of the tournament, and he even had a newly discovered species of sea slug named after him. Vozinha's social media fame also surged, with his Instagram followers growing from 50,000 to nearly 30 million.
This move marks a career highlight for Vozinha, who has played in Slovakia, Angola, Moldova, and Cyprus. Colo-Colo is the most successful team in Chile's Primera Division with 34 titles and 14 Copa Chile wins.
