Cape Verde's World Cup hero Vozinha has arrived in Chile to a massive welcome ahead of his move to South American football giants Colo-Colo.

Colo-Colo is considered Chile's most successful and iconic club, holding a record 33 domestic league titles, and remains the only Chilean team to win the prestigious Copa Libertadores in 1991.

The 40-year-old goalkeeper became one of the breakout stars of the 2026 World Cup, helping Cape Verde reach the knockout stage in their tournament debut and earning a place in FIFA's fan-voted Dream Team.

Now, a new chapter begins in South America.
