Vozinha signs deal with Chilean club

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, who became a fan favorite during the FIFA World Cup, has signed for Chilean club Colo-Colo, the club announced.

The 40-year-old has joined on a six-month contract, with the option to extend it by an additional year, after completing his medical examinations earlier on Monday, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

"Vozinha signed his contract and officially became a new Colo-Colo player," the club posted on X.

Chilean media report that he is expected to make his debut on August 16 against O'Higgins, as Colo-Colo looks to maintain its lead at the top of the Chilean Primera División.

Last Friday, Colo-Colo received permission for Vozinha—whose full name is Josimar Jose Evore Dias—to wear his football nickname on the back of his shirt, despite regulations in Chile that normally prohibit the use of nicknames.

Vozinha most recently played for Portuguese second-division side Chaves and has also featured for clubs in Angola, Cyprus, Moldova, and Slovakia.
