According to recent reports, Cape Verde goalkeeping sensation Vozinha has officially completed a surprise transfer to Chilean powerhouse Colo-Colo at the remarkable age of 40.

Based on his heroics on the global stage, the veteran shot-stopper captured international attention during the tournament by helping his nation escape the group stage, holding eventual champions Spain to a scoreless draw, and putting up a valiant fight against Argentina in a narrow 3-2 extra-time defeat.

Born Josimar Dias, the journeyman goalkeeper signed his first professional contract at the relatively late age of 26 and has since played across six different countries, including Angola, Moldova, Cyprus, Slovakia, and Portugal, with Chaves serving as his most recent club.

Now heading to South America, the veteran joins a squad that features veteran midfielder Arturo Vidal, adding another remarkable chapter to an unlikely and inspiring football career.
