Colo Colo goalkeeper Vozinha to attend Ballon d'Or ceremony in London

Colo Colo goalkeeper Josimar Vozinha will travel to London to attend the 2026 Ballon d'Or ceremony, where he is a candidate for the best goalkeeper award. Club president Aníbal Mosa confirmed that the Cape Verdean player will travel via Madrid to ensure his presence at the gala, with plans for a rapid return to Chile to avoid missing upcoming matches.

In addition to his individual recognition, Vozinha’s presence has influenced club branding. Reports indicate that Adidas will provide Colo Colo with a customized goalkeeper kit for the upcoming season, moving away from standard templates to create designs specific to the club’s identity. This customization is being extended to a select group of major clubs, including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Juventus.

Internal discussions regarding the club's goalkeeping hierarchy continue following Vozinha's recent performances. Former goalkeeper Marcelo Ramírez has criticized coach Fernando Ortiz for the decision to bench Gabriel Maureira, suggesting the current management of the position lacks stability.
