  • Cape Verdean goalkeeper 'Vozinha' has completed his third training session with Colo Colo, but his debut date remains undecided.
  • The match marking his debut will be broadcast in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, in addition to Chile, due to his global popularity.
  • While speculation suggests an August 16 debut, coach Fernando Ortiz will make the final decision, considering competition with younger goalkeeper Gabriel Maureira.

Cape Verdean World Cup goalkeeper 'Vozinha' has completed his third training session with Chilean club Colo Colo, but the exact date of his league debut is still pending. Despite the uncertainty, the match in which he plays will be broadcast internationally in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, alongside Chile, highlighting his global appeal.

Speculation points to a potential debut on August 16, when Colo Colo, currently leading the league by 12 points, faces O’Higgins at home. However, the decision rests with Argentine coach Fernando Ortiz, who must choose between the 40-year-old veteran and 19-year-old Gabriel Maureira.

TNT Sports, which holds the rights to the Chilean league, typically does not offer regular international broadcasts. However, 'Vozinha's' significant global following, reportedly nearing 30 million Instagram followers, generated substantial interest. A spokesperson for the company noted that "this is the case of the match that will mark Vozinha's debut, whose transmission will be available in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico."

In a few days I will be better because I am coming from the World Cup and the season was very long.

'Vozinha', who impressed during the 2026 World Cup with Cape Verde, stated upon his arrival that he would need time to adapt after a long season. Coach Ortiz had previously indicated that there would be competition for the goalkeeper position between 'Vozinha' and Maureira, who had been the starter following Fernando de Paul's injury.

Colo Colo has strategically leveraged 'Vozinha's' arrival, enhancing its digital content strategy by publishing in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. The club's Instagram following has seen a notable increase since the signing, with videos of his arrival garnering millions of views, demonstrating the significant impact of the new signing beyond the field.

This is the case of the match that will mark Vozinha's debut, whose transmission will be available in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.
