Transfert : Vozinha contraint de changer de nom à Colo-Colo ?
After making a name for himself at the 2026 World Cup with Cape Verde, Vozinha is preparing to open a new chapter in his career. The 40-year-old goalkeeper, a free agent, will join Chilean giants Colo-Colo, who were impressed by his experience and performances during the World Cup.
But even before playing his first match, the Cape Verdean international could face a rather unusual situation. According to several Chilean media outlets, league regulations require players to display their surname on their jersey, not a nickname, unless an exemption is granted by the relevant authorities.
Known in the football world as "Vozinha," the goalkeeper's real name is Josimar José Évora Dias. If Colo-Colo doesn't obtain special permission, he will have to play with "Évora," "Dias," or "Évora Dias" printed on his back. This is due to Chilean league regulations, which require players to use their surname on their jerseys.
The Chilean club should, however, try to obtain an exception so that the goalkeeper can keep the nickname that contributed to his fame, especially after his excellent performance with the Cape Verdean national team during the 2026 World Cup.
