Cleared by the ANFP to use his famous nickname, he passed medicals and signed to strengthen ColoColo’s push in the Chilean title race.

Overview

  • The signing was completed on Monday when Vozinha passed medicals, signed a contract and posed with club president Aníbal Mosa.
  • Vozinha landed in Santiago on Sunday and was greeted at the airport by a large crowd of ColoColo supporters and club social‑media posts.
  • The transfer faced travel and registration delays that included reported talks with Morocco’s Berkane and visa or paperwork issues before the move was finalized.
  • The ANFP granted an exception to allow the goalkeeper to wear the nickname 'Vozinha' on his shirt after initial questions about federation rules.
