Vozinha joins Colo Colo

Overview

Cape Verde goalkeeper Josimar “Vozinha” Évora Dias completed a six‑month deal with Chilean giants Colo Colo in early August 2026, with an option to extend through 2027. The 40‑year‑old arrived in Santiago on 3 August, was presented at the Estadio Monumental before roughly 30,000 fans, and became the club’s first foreign goalkeeper in recent years.

His World Cup performances, which helped Cape Verde reach the knockout stage for the first time, lifted his Instagram following to about 30 million and sparked a surge in Colo Colo’s social‑media audience. The signing, backed by Chinese SUV maker JETOUR, includes an escort fleet and daily mobility support for the player.

Colo Colo, leading the Chilean league by 12 points, expects Vozinha to bolster a Libertadores campaign that could pit him against Brazilian clubs—a “debt” he said he wants to repay. His debut is still pending, but the transfer has already amplified the club’s commercial profile, drawing brand‑ambassador talks with Adidas, Sony Pictures and McDonald’s Portugal, and securing broadcast interest across Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and the wider South American market.

Vozinha’s monthly salary is reported at roughly 47 million Chilean pesos (US$48‑50 k), with the total outlay estimated at about US$600 k. Coach Fernando Ortiz must choose between starting the veteran or 19‑year‑old Gabriel Maureira.
