“Vozinha maintains humility despite fame after the 2026 World Cup.”

Vozinha has become one of the biggest revelations of the 2026 World Cup, gaining worldwide recognition as the goalkeeper for Cape Verde. Despite the significant increase in his popularity, especially on social media, the player assured that fame has not changed him. “Fame hasn't changed me much. I have to continue being who I am,” he stated in an interview with the Spanish newspaper Marca.

The goalkeeper emphasized the importance of Cape Verde's participation in the World Cup, highlighting the impact the tournament has had for the African country. “Facing Argentina was great. We were tied until the end of the match and had chances to win. It was a big moment for me and for Cape Verde. We showed the world that we also have a lot of quality.” Vozinha also pointed out that before the World Cup, “90% of the world's population didn't know where Cape Verde was. Now, everyone knows where Cape Verde is. For us, that is very important.”

Questioned about his future plans, the Cape Verdean international revealed that he intends to continue playing football for a few more years, depending on his physical condition. “I want to play football for another one or two years. Maybe three. I'll see how my body reacts, but I am a free agent and I am looking for a good project. I hope to find a good team soon.”

Vozinha did not hesitate to praise Argentine player Lionel Messi, recognizing him as the best player in the world. “Messi is a player who needs no introduction. For me, he is the best in the world. He has been doing this for over 20 years, and playing against him was a great pleasure.”

The goalkeeper's statement reveals a focused and humble personality, even after achieving unprecedented international recognition for a Cape Verdean player. His performance in the World Cup helped elevate Cape Verde's name in the global football landscape, opening doors for new opportunities in his professional journey. Now, Vozinha is seeking a project that will allow him to continue demonstrating his quality and experience on international pitches.
