Meet the Goalkeeping Sensation from Cape Verde Taking Social Media by Storm

The goalkeeper from Cape Verde is making waves with an unforgettable performance against Spain in a thrilling match at the 2026 World Cup.

Vozinha, the 40-year-old goalkeeper, has become the talk of the town after delivering a masterclass against Spain, earning him the man of the match award.

Before the game, Vozinha had only 50,000 followers on Instagram, but his performance against Spain has taken his following to over 3 million, and it's still counting.

'It's crazy', said Vozinha after the game. Despite his 89 international appearances and recent nomination for the best African goalkeeper of 2025, Vozinha has not renewed his contract with Chaves, a Portuguese second-division club. This newfound fame could open doors for him.

Vozinha is a humble goalkeeper who keeps to himself.

He doesn't let fame go to his head.
