Vozinha nominated for Lev Yashin Trophy; set to start for CC

Overview

Josimar ‘Vozinha’ Évora Dias continues to make headlines both for his club performance with Colo-Colo and his international recognition. The 40-year-old Cape Verdean goalkeeper has been nominated for the 2026 Lev Yashin Trophy, part of the Ballon d’Or awards, following his performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup where he helped Cape Verde secure a historic draw against Spain and a competitive match against Argentina. He is the first player from the Chilean domestic league to be nominated for a Ballon d’Or category, joining a shortlist of ten elite keepers including Thibaut Courtois, Emiliano Martínez, and Unai Simón. The ceremony is set for October 26 in London.

At the club level, Vozinha remains a central figure for Colo-Colo. Following a run of clean sheets, manager Fernando Ortiz has confirmed that Vozinha is expected to start in the upcoming match against Deportes Concepción at the Monumental Stadium. Ortiz noted that the keeper requires more continuity to reach his optimal level after a period of inactivity following the World Cup. This decision is further supported by the unavailability of Gabriel Maureira, who is participating in the Odesur Games, and the limited availability of other options like Eduardo Villanueva and Fernando de Paul due to surgery recovery or lack of recent action.

In addition to his on-field role, Vozinha’s future at the club may be secured by a contract clause that could trigger an automatic renewal, potentially extending his stay through the 2027 season.
