Vozinha, who was previously named to the World Cup’s team of the tournament, has now celebrated his first championship title. He has been crowned Chilean champion with Colo-Colo. “I came here to achieve exactly this: to win the title. Thank God we won this great title, and I’m very happy,” Vozinha told TNT Sports.
The goalkeeper expressed gratitude to his teammates and coaching staff for their warm welcome since his arrival, stating, “This title is for my entire family, for all of Cape Verde, for my teammates and all Colo-Colo fans.” Vozinha transitioned from Portugal to Chile in August and has made five league appearances for Colo-Colo, conceding four goals during that time.

Reflecting on his journey, Vozinha has enjoyed an incredible few months. After his World Cup performance, he received a nomination for the Ballon d’Or award for goalkeeper of the year, finishing in sixth place. Now, at 40, he can revel in his first championship title. He celebrates this achievement alongside former Bayern Munich star Arturo Vidal, who joined Colo-Colo in January 2024, and scored the opening goal in the match that secured the championship. The club celebrated its 35th league title with a 2-1 victory over Nublense.
