World Cup star Vozinha celebrates title win with Colo-Colo

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha celebrated winning his first league title with Chilean giants Colo-Colo.

Vozinha, 40, started in Sunday's 2-1 win at Ñublense, a result that earned Colo-Colo their 35th league crown.

"I came here for this, to win the title," Vozinha said after the game. "I'm absolutely delighted. Thank God we managed to win this great title, and I'm very happy. I'd like to thank all my teammates, all the directors, the coaching staff and everyone at Colo-Colo, who've made me feel very welcome from day one."

Vozinha, who previously won the Cape Verdean Football Championship in 2015 and the Cypriot Cup in 2019 with AEL Limassol, was ecstatic after the final whistle.

He joined the Chilean outfit in August following his stellar performance at the 2026 World Cup that saw him making great saves against top teams.

However, he struggled in his first month at Colo-Colo but has been a regular starter since September.

"I think the whole team's hard work throughout the season made the difference," Vozinha said.

"I only joined a few matches before the end. I also had a few off moments and made mistakes, but that's all part of football, and now it's just a case of celebrating. It's the culmination of everything I've done my whole life."

Vozinha did not confirm if he will continue playing for Colo-Colo next year, with his contract expiring on Dec. 31.

"Today is a day to celebrate, we will talk about the future some other time," he said.
