Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha unhappy with life change after FIFA World Cup in the USA
Vozinha became something of a viral sensation during the 2026 World Cup in North America, but his newfound fame hasn’t been all positive. The 40-year-old first began making headlines during a group stage meeting with the eventual winners of the tournament, Spain.
Cape Verde's goalkeeper, Vozinha, has expressed his discontent with his life after the FIFA World Cup in the USA. The 40-year-old gained immense popularity during the tournament, notably after making crucial saves against Spain, which helped his team advance to the Round of 32. However, his newfound fame has not been entirely positive.
Vozinha admits that he has lost his "peace and tranquillity" and struggles to maintain privacy as he is constantly approached for photos or autographs when out in public. He would prefer to have his life before the World Cup back, even though his Instagram following has surged to 28.3 million since the tournament. Vozinha recently transferred to Chile's Colo-Colo, where he has kept two clean sheets and conceded only one goal in three games.
