Vozinha Joins Colo Coloactive

Colo Colo wins 2-1 and Unión La Calera plays its last cards to tie the match. The cementeros need to rescue some points more than anyone else. They are the last in the First League, so any point could be decisive for them at the end of the season. The goal for Martín Cicotello's team is nothing but to avoid relegation. In a corner kick, all the Calera players go towards Gabriel Maureira's goal. Even the goalkeeper Nicolás Avellaneda. There is nothing left to lose. However, the attempt fails, the Albos clear the ball, which is received by Felipe Raipán. Past the halfway line, the youth prepares to score the 3-1. He is interrupted by referee José Cabero, who had granted six minutes of added time. "A nonsense": they criticize José Cabero for ending the match against La Calera just as Colo Colo was about to score The referee is filled with criticism. The Albo attack started four seconds before the time the referee had granted was up. Raipán's last contact with the ball occurs one second before the end of the added time. Some note that, even if the added time had been exceeded, Cabero could have perfectly allowed the action to finish and, therefore, the 16-year-old player could have scored his third goal in professional football. He had scored against O’Higgins, for the Chile Cup, and against Deportes Limache, for the First League. Iván Guerrero, former president of the Commission…

At 14,500 feet above the Andes mountain range, the air is thin and the cold penetrates deeply. In that setting and at speeds approaching 300 kilometers per hour, the margin of error simply disappears. Sebastián "Squirrel" Álvarez, accustomed to pushing his body to the limit, launched himself in a wingsuit over Valle Nevado with a new co-pilot tied to his wrist. Samsung's Galaxy Watch Ultra2 was responsible for documenting every heartbeat and every meter of descent. Here we tell you how that experience was and what the device, now available in the Chilean market, recorded. Squirrel Álvarez's jump with the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 The jump lasted exactly one minute and thirty-five seconds. In that fraction of time, the smartwatch recorded a peak of 119 beats per minute in the athlete's heart. Continuous measurement in high-risk scenarios is a critical factor for sports analysis. That is why the value of cutting-edge portable devices lies in their biometric accuracy under extreme physical stress and adverse weather conditions. In this mountain flight, the hardware was put to the test in real time. In fact, the device's work began long before opening his arms over Valle Nevado. The night before the jump, in the same week that Squirrel gave Vozinha his Colo Colo shirt, Álvarez's smartwatch sleep record showed an oxygen saturation of 78%. That metric and...

Colo Colo remains the master and lord of the Primera League. The Cacique came from behind in a complex match against Unión La Calera and maintained the 12-point lead that separates them from their chaser, Universidad de Chile. To stay as the sole leaders, the Albos even afforded the luxury of reserving their most recent acquisition. Vozinha, the sensation goalkeeper from Cape Verde who arrived to revolutionize national football, was not even included in the call-up for the match against the cement team. Moreover, the African did not join the delegation heading to the Fifth Region, something that, for example, Iván Román did, who traveled from Brazil on Saturday to sign as the second reinforcement. The goalkeeper was highly anticipated at the Nicolás Chahuán stadium, especially by fans and sports media. However, he preferred to stay in Santiago and watch the game from his house. On his social networks, he even posted a photo with the broadcast of the match and later reposted the final result with signs related to the club. In this regard, his absence quickly raised questions. Why was Román present in the stands and Vozinha not? The reason is simple. The Albos' management was clear in stating that they preferred the player to remain in the capital, as a trip to La Calera required a greater police presence around the venue, a situation that was not contemplated…

The arrival of goalkeeper Vozinha has taken over the daily life of Colo Colo's discipline. Not even the comeback victory at Unión La Calera's home could be detached from the presence of the African goalkeeper, the true market hit of the Primera League. And it is that the arrival of the 40-year-old player has generated multiple reactions from the Albos' coach, the Argentine Fernando Ortiz. Since the club president Aníbal Mosa made the arrival of the islander official, the coach has taken some distance. "I was not involved in the negotiations, I am not in charge of that. I am clear that he is just another player, who will have to fight for his position, like all the others," explained the South American, visibly displeased. When asked if he had been explicitly requested by the coaching staff, he limited himself to saying that "it's something we had discussed and we know that every player who arrives will compete." A tension that has intensified as the days have passed. Now with the player in Chile, the South American coach has insisted on calling him by his first name, Josimar, instead of mentioning him with the nickname he is known by worldwide. As a way to mark a boundary with the reinforcement. After the victory over the cement makers, which allows Cacique to at least maintain the 12-point lead over their pursuers, Ortiz spoke briefly again about the goalkeeper. In the official TNT Sports broadcast, when asked about his probable debut, the coach limited himself to...

Clash of extremes. A phrase often used when selling a match between clubs with opposing present circumstances. But this time it fully matches reality. Colo Colo, the solid leader of the National Championship, visited Unión La Calera, the bottom team, to take another step towards an outcome that appears as obvious as it is inevitable: the title. Another comeback at the basket. Started behind and turned it around to win 2-1. It was the encounter between the best away team in the Primera League and the worst home team. In a week where all the spotlight was on the media sensation Vozinha, during his debut in local football, it was expected that the Cape Verdean would join his new teammates. However, he was not in the stadium. The one who did appear was Iván Román, the recent signing of the Colo Colo team. Fernando Ortiz's Colo Colo is a team that enjoys keeping possession and takes risks. Just as it happened in the previous match against Everton, the league leader showed defensive cracks that the opponent knew how to exploit. That is how the parity was broken. In the 6th minute, Matías Campos López scored the 1-0 for La Calera. A long ball from their field, the striker beats a weak Arturo Vidal and finishes over Gabriel Maureira, who was caught in no man's land. Villagra did not reach the coverage. Maintaining the formation of playing with three in the back and a well-nourished midfield, with Álvaro Madrid as the most liberated midfielder, taking on linking duties, Colo Colo gathered men in...

On October 13, everything changed in the life of Cape Verde. The 3-0 victory over Eswatini allowed the small African nation to qualify for a World Cup for the first time. This milestone not only put the small archipelago of 500,000 inhabitants on the map but also brought fame to the protagonists of such an achievement. One of them, in particular, took most of the spotlight. In the World Cup's first match, goalkeeper Vozinha efficiently and spectacularly defended his goal to prevent the victory of the powerful Spain, in the only match they did not win in the tournament. Before that game, the goalkeeper had fewer than 50,000 followers on Instagram. Hours later, his account surpassed one and a half million, reaching 7 million in just a few minutes after challenging his audience on the Brazilian channel Cazé TV. The roots A leap to fame that contains a story of effort and humility. A process that began 40 years ago, when Josimar Évora Dias was born on the modest island of São Vicente, in its capital Mindelo, one of the 9 inhabited islands of the African country that was a Portuguese colony. A slim, friendly boy who spent his days between the beach and football. Because the ball was always linked to his life, from his own birth certificate. The name chosen by his father, is a tribute to the Brazilian right-back Josimar, who played in the 1986 World Cup. The initial intention of the father, José Pedro Dias, was to name his son Valdano, but…

Vozinha fulfilled his commercial commitment and was one of the protagonists of Rio Innovation Week. The Cape Verdean goalkeeper stole all the attention at the technology and business conference. However, he participated in the event held in Brazil remotely. Last week, representative Bernardo Vasconcelos explained to El Deportivo that the footballer never committed to traveling and that his participation would be compatible with his obligations at Colo Colo. "He will definitely not be in Brazil next week, as has been said," he assured. In the discussion, the sensation goalkeeper of the 2026 World Cup addressed various topics, including his arrival at Colo Colo and how he manages his new life after making a global impact. "My life has changed completely. What happened at the World Cup was extraordinary and incredible. The world has come to know our story and our country, which is small but full of incredible and hardworking people," said the 40-year-old goalkeeper. "I was very well received by the Chilean people, the club, and my colleagues. The love on the streets is fantastic, but from now on, I think it will be calmer because I will focus on football and training routines," he continued. He also mentioned his goals: "It's a passion I have inside me. I want to keep working, focus on the day-to-day, on opportunities, and if God wills..."

Whenever he has been asked about Vozinha's arrival, Fernando Ortiz has made it clear that he prefers to call him by another name. The 'official' name of the goalkeeper who shined in the World Cup with Cape Verde's jersey is Josimar José Évora Dias. The pseudonym by which he has become known worldwide was adopted in honor of his grandmother. In Portuguese, it means 'little grandmother'. "Yes, I had a conversation. The truth is that we exchanged opinions with Vozinha, as he likes to be called, I like it too, Josimar as his name is. I saw him happy, I saw him content, although his way of thinking is not so expressive, he is happy with the choice to be with us," he declared after the victory against Everton, hours before the African arrived in the country. Fernando Ortiz's resistance to mentioning Vozinha: "Josimar has adapted very well" On the eve of the match against La Calera, the strategist valued the integration of the former Chaves goalkeeper from Portugal. He did so again, calling him by his original name, which alludes to a historic Brazilian footballer, Josimar Higino Pereira, who played in the Mexico World Cup with the Scratch. "Josimar has adapted very well to the group, he has adapted very well. Despite being inactive for a while, I have seen him work very well, adapting to his teammates, the city, and all that. Hopefully he can continue working in the same way and can compete alongside his teammates as soon as possible..."

The week has been quite busy for Vozinha. The new reinforcement of Colo Colo arrived in Chile on Sunday night and immediately faced a tight schedule. After that, he underwent the necessary exams on Monday, which he passed, allowing him to sign the contract with the Cacique. On Tuesday, he was presented to the media, and during the Wednesday afternoon, he met with the fans at the Monumental Stadium, in an event that included music, lights, and a shirt from the sky. This exhibition caught the attention of international media, which have closely followed what is happening with Vozinha after his great performance in the North American World Cup 2026. "What a welcome for Vozinha from Cape Verde! The goalkeeper was presented by the Chilean club Colo-Colo after his outstanding performance in the World Cup, and the fans came out to greet him," shared the BBC of England. What a welcome for Cape Verde’s Vozinha 🇨🇻❤️ The goalkeeper was unveiled by Chilean club Colo-Colo after his World Cup heroics, with fans turning out to welcome their new signing. pic.twitter.com/2IodwNOIhD — Match of the Day (@BBCMOTD) August 6, 2026 "Can a life change so much with just one tournament? One of the most important clubs in Chile, Colo Colo, held a signing ceremony for Vozinha," commented from Turkey De Marke Sports. A life, can it change this much with just one tournament... Chile’s biggest clubs, Colo Colo, signing for Vozinha...

Colo Colo closed an anticipated signing this Monday. The goalkeeper Vozinha joined the ranks of the Cacique after a long wait. The Cape Verdean player recently stood out in the last North American World Cup 2026 with his national team and now faces a new challenge in the national football scene. Therefore, one of the players who has defended the goal of the Macul team warned the African about what awaits him in the competition. In his role as a panelist on ESPN's F90 program, the former Barcelona and Manchester City player indicated that "great goalkeepers do stand out for their consistency, not for appearing in five matches in a year." "We are talking about more real, more concrete things. But we will see him compete and how he functions in a team where there is real pressure and where mistakes are heavily penalized through criticism from fans and the press," he added. Because of this, he emphasized that the context Vozinha will find himself in within the national competition will be much more demanding than what was expected of him in the World Cup. "Playing a World Cup where you have no pressure, where if you made a mistake in Cape Verde, nothing really happened. It's different when you play for a national team where you have more responsibility, in a team that is a candidate, for example," he proposed. "(At Colo Colo) you will be playing for a team that is a title contender and competing at the international level. That's why we will see how he performs under this new pressure,"…

Exotic, to say the least. The two most media-covered players of the last World Cup signed with South American teams. New Zealand defender Tim Payne went to Olimpia in Paraguay, while Cape Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha has just been presented at Colo Colo. Today, both clubs hope to organize an event to bring together the two popular figures in a friendly match. In the case of the Oceanian, everything has happened very quickly in his career. He had not yet finished his participation in the North American tournament (All Whites did not advance past the first round), when the team had already secured his signing. As in other cases, more for a media hit than a sporting necessity. Everything changed from the day Argentine influencer Valentín Scarnisi, known as Elscarso, proposed to his community to follow the defender. The argument was to show himself as the footballer with the fewest social media accounts among the 1,248 athletes who participated in the World Cup. Several weeks after that frenzy he generated with his image, the defender enjoys his days thousands of kilometers from home, in the Asunción capital. Last weekend, Payne debuted with a goal for the Paraguayan team just 12 minutes into his first game. A big leap in his career, as he recently played for Wellington in his country with little visibility outside the archipelago. Today, he has more than 5 million followers on Instagram. The Kiwi footballer settled in Paraguay ju…

A true popular celebration was Vozinha's presentation to Colo Colo fans at the Monumental stadium. More than 35,000 fans arrived at the Macul venue to welcome the World Cup goalkeeper from Cape Verde. The event started at 5:00 p.m. and included performances by various bands, DJs, and singers, such as Garras de Amor, Juan Sativo, Forest, and DJ Rocka, along with a light and laser show. However, most supporters arrived after 7:00 p.m., considering delays due to congestion typical of a workday. The event, free for the public, was classified as Class B by the Presidential Delegation of the Metropolitan Region, which prohibited fireworks and restricted some entertainment elements. Nevertheless, the maximum capacity of 42,000 spectators was authorized, a number slightly higher than the final attendance at the Macul venue. Among the permitted materials, a banner was authorized on the upper part of the Arica sector, measuring 75 meters long by 2.5 meters high, with the phrase The Pride of the People, commonly used in matches. Meanwhile, in the upper zone of the Lautaro sector, another banner measuring 45 meters long by 2.5 meters high, with the number 1925, the club's founding year, was approved, also showcasing a journey through its historic insignias. Additionally, the entry of more small banners was approved in the Arica sector, along with seven thousand colored flags.

This Wednesday, the official presentation of Vozinha at Colo Colo is scheduled, who arrived in our country after his outstanding participation in the 2026 World Cup with the Cape Verde national team. Josimar José Évoras Dias, the player's real name, recently signed his contract with the Cacique and will be part of the team for the next six months, with the possibility of extending his stay until 2027. Furthermore, a massive event is being prepared at the Monumental Stadium, where the figure will have his first interaction with the fans. When is Vozinha's presentation at Colo Colo? Vozinha's presentation at Colo Colo is this Wednesday, August 5. The event has the following schedule of activities and guests at the Monumental Stadium: 5:00 PM DJ Rocka 5:45 PM Forest 6:00 PM Juan Sativo 6:30 PM Garras de Amor 7:00 PM Vozinha's presentation Where to watch Vozinha's presentation at Colo Colo The official presentation event of Vozinha will be broadcast live on Colo Colo's YouTube channel from 4:50 PM.

If the announcement of Vozinha's signing with Colo Colo had unleashed a real frenzy, the official presentation of the goalkeeper, who was a figure in the last World Cup in the Cape Verdean goal, was nothing more than the confirmation of the high expectations that not only took over Macul but also extended to several places around the world. These days, the Cacique has positioned itself as an international brand, and Pedreros is working intensely to capitalize on that status. In the press room of the Monumental stadium, journalists from media outlets of different countries were present, a rare occurrence unless it is a significant event like the Copa Libertadores. To illustrate the interest, it is enough to note that one of the conference participants was reporting for Al Jazeera, the news channel focused on the Arab region. There were also correspondents from European agencies. Vozinha phenomenon: TNT Sports' ambitious plan to broadcast Colo Colo's matches abroad At the Cacique, but also in the national industry, they are just beginning to grasp the phenomenon caused by the arrival of the Cape Verdean goalkeeper and, above all, its reach. While preparations for the massive reception this Wednesday were underway at the Monumental, the club's official platforms announced the sale of a special clothing line related to the new signing, who had just completed his first practice with Fernando Ortiz's squad. In the store that f…

This Tuesday, the official presentation of Vozinha as a new reinforcement for Colo Colo took place. During the event, the Cape Verdean goalkeeper met with the media, explaining his motivations for joining the Cacique. There, Daniel Morón, the sports manager of the team, also explained how the possibility of bringing the World Cup player to Chilean football arose. "I received the proposal for Vozinha through Luciano Duthu. And at one point I told him: 'Vozinha's transfer must be difficult.' He told me 'don't believe it, let me see and I'll tell you.' The next day I met with the president and asked him what he thought about the possibility of bringing Vozinha. He looked at me with a smile and we talked, we moved forward and now Vozinha is sitting here." "It was a wonderful thing, because for everyone, because when they say Vozinha, and we saw the World Cup, everything he had created in the world. In children, youth, in people. We thought it was impossible to bring him to Colo Colo, to Chile. Or to a South American team. One thought he could go to the MLS, to Europe, but not here," he continued. "And well, here is Vozinha," Morón concluded. Vozinha's objectives at Colo Colo For his part, the goalkeeper revealed what factors motivated him to come to the country and what he aims to achieve with the Cacique. "The World Cup changed the life of all Cape Verde. There are many positive things, but I will continue to be..."

The arrival of Vozinha at Colo Colo revolutionizes Chilean football and the Albos. Notably, the presentation press conference of the Cape Verde goalkeeper was followed worldwide, and this Wednesday a large welcome will be held at the Monumental Stadium before more than 42,000 people. With nearly 30 million followers on social media, the new Cacique goalkeeper is a very attractive figure for marketing campaigns, something that was naturally noticed in Macul, where they already started their first campaign consisting of launching a line of jerseys of the player, with prices ranging from $24,990 to $89,990, in the official store of the Albos. The garments range from football jerseys to casual shirts for all occasions. Among these, some feature Vozinha's face printed along with the words “Goatzinha” and “Albozinha,” while another series bears the legend “Aura.” This is the first of several campaigns planned by Colo Colo for the Cape Verdean goalkeeper during his stay in the country. In fact, the footballer is negotiating with Adidas to become a brand ambassador both in Chile and internationally. Upon his arrival, he wore apparel from the German brand's Originals line. The goalkeeper's excitement In his first press conference, the new Cacique goalkeeper shared his reasons for deciding to join Fernando Ortiz's team. “It was cl…

I never imagined this. But I am excited and hope it will be a great day for the club and its fans, said the new signing of the Albos.

Vozinha is already working at Colo Colo. This Tuesday, the Cape Verdean goalkeeper had his first practice with the Cacique squad after signing a contract that binds him to the team for six months, with the option to extend it for another year. On this same day, he will be officially presented as the new reinforcement, while on Wednesday, he is expected to have a new meeting with the fans at the Monumental Stadium.

Colo Colo seeks to capitalize in every way on the sensational signing of Vozinha, the media spotlighted World Cup goalkeeper from Cape Verde. The 40-year-old footballer arrived in Chile on Sunday and was greeted by a crowd at Arturo Merino Benítez Airport. "I am very happy to be here, it is an honor to represent Colo Colo," he said in Spanish upon arriving in the country. "I want to thank the fans for their affection and patience. See you soon at the Monumental," he added amidst the tumult of microphones awaiting him. Considering the madness unleashed by his new figure, the Cacique is preparing a large-scale event at the Monumental stadium for this Wednesday, starting at 7:30 p.m. To this end, Blanco y Negro has initiated procedures with the Presidential Delegation of the Metropolitan Region to authorize the event. The club submitted a proposal to the entity led by Germán Codina, requesting an attendance of 42,000 spectators, the maximum allowed for the Macul venue. The idea is for the event to be classified as if it were a B-class match, although, of course, this time there is no opponent or even a visiting fanbase. What does this classification mean? That fireworks are not permitted and a review of the animation elements for the event must be conducted. In this context, the main novelty is that it will not be a free event, as other mass presentations of this type have been, but the proposal includes…

Ten days after Aníbal Mosa announced his signing, Vozinha is officially a Colo Colo player, after signing his contract with the team for the next 18 months. The 40-year-old goalkeeper joins the Cacique after a great World Cup, where he was the standout for Cape Verde and was selected in FIFA's Ideal XI thanks to his remarkable performances.

Upon arriving in Chile, Vozinha drew widespread attention for several reasons. The main one was simply the fact of arriving in the country. Featured in the last World Cup for his performances in the Cape Verde goal, the African is one of the few players who has reached the national football scene with that level of relevance at the highest level of the sport. Later, fans appreciated the closeness he showed with those who went to wait for him at the airport. About 600 fans arrived at Pudahuel, noticing one detail but hardly noticing another. The goalkeeper was wearing striking black-framed glasses, which worried some, in case he suffered any visual impairment, a dangerous reality for a goalkeeper. They are not optical glasses: the special feature of the glasses Vozinha wore upon arriving in Chile to play for Colo Colo. The detail that few noticed was that on the edges of the frame there were two cameras. The purpose is nothing other than recording video images. That is, Vozinha recorded each of the incidents related to his arrival and the popular reception awaiting him, and he can use it in his upcoming social media posts, which are followed by nearly 30 million people, or keep them as an indelible memory. The item worn by the African is one of the most advanced in the field. They are Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2, which feature a 12-megapixel camera…

The Chilean artist FloyyMenor - born in La Serena and known for hits such as Gata only with Cris Mj - has been recognized by Billboard in its 21 Under 21 list for the third consecutive year. As the only Chilean artist included in this year's edition, he is once again part of the publication's annual selection highlighting the most influential artists under 21 in the music industry. "This achievement reaffirms his impact on Latin music and consolidates one of the most remarkable growth stories of his generation," states a press release. Earlier this year, the artist released his latest project, MAN IN BLACK, a production that reflects his artistic evolution and continues to expand his creative vision. He recently collaborated with Gabito Ballesteros on PLO PLO and is preparing for the release of Pastillitas de Color, alongside Óscar Maydon, on August 13. Additionally, he has strengthened his international presence with notable performances at festivals and stages around the world, including upcoming appearances at iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina this September and Coca-Cola Flow Fest in Mexico this November. Most recently, he received a nomination for Premios Juventud, a recognition that reaffirms his growing influence and impact within the Latin music industry. "Being recognized by Billboard for the third year in a row is an incredible honor," FloyyMenor said in the same statement. "I am ...

There was a detail that did not go unnoticed in the arrival of the Cape Verde goalkeeper in Chile. The World Cup player Josimar José Évora Dias, Vozinha to the world, who will now defend the colors of Colo Colo - where he will be presented this week - arrived in Pudahuel with a pair of Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 glasses. Vozinha wore the Wayfarer model that maintains the traditional Ray-Ban design but adds hardware from Meta, that is, Qualcomm's Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 processor, a 12-megapixel camera, and directional audio in its temples. Here we review how these glasses work and why they are considered smart. Vozinha's glasses Smart glasses are, first and foremost, optical lenses that also darken outdoors or in situations with a lot of light - through Transitions technology - and secondly, cameras and also headphones. In other words, they replace the phone and headphones in a single device, allowing you to answer calls via the phone or WhatsApp, listen to music on apps like Spotify or Apple Music, and receive notifications from programs like Gmail or Telegram, in addition to taking photos or capturing vertical videos without having to take out the phone. Additionally, they feature an artificial intelligence assistant that is constantly updated - through the Meta AI app - which provides voice responses to questions, translates conversations in real time from multiple languages, and can also look around the environment…

Colo Colo and Vozinha celebrate. This Monday, the Cape Verdean goalkeeper underwent the usual physical exams prior to signing the contract with the Cacique. The goalkeeper went to Meds clinic in the morning, successfully passing the tests. In this way, the player is ready to sign and become the new reinforcement for the whites. Check out the images here

Vozinha took another step to join Colo Colo. The Cape Verdean footballer underwent the required physical exams this Monday, which he successfully passed, as the Cacique shared through their social media. "Vozinha passed the medical exams at Clínica Meds and only the signature remains to seal his link with Colo-Colo," they shared. On Tuesday, August 4, after noon, the Cape Verdean will be presented to the media, after signing his new commitment with the Pedreros team. However, the real celebration will be on Wednesday, August 5, at the Monumental stadium. Around 7:30 p.m., Vozinha will have his first large-scale contact with the fans.

Colo Colo made a splash in the market, one that puts the club and Chilean football on the map. After weeks of negotiations, the Cape Verdean Vozinha - the most popular goalkeeper of the last World Cup - arrived in Santiago to sign his commitment with the Albos. The player already had his first contact with nearly a thousand fans waiting for him at Pudahuel Airport. However, Macul's team is preparing a real celebration to introduce their new signing to the public. However, concerns had already spread among supporters. Over the days, the player was unable to catch that flight from Portugal to commit to the club and also did not give a clear sign that his next destination was in Macul. After Friday's session, when the ANFP Presidents' Council authorized putting his nickname on the jersey, the first clear sign that the goalkeeper was close to arriving materialized. "That is true, we are aware of what happened and it leaves us satisfied," said the player's representative Bernardo Vasconcelos to El Deportivo, who even denied rumors that spoke of the footballer's presence at the Rio Innovation Week in Brazil, a situation that would have delayed his arrival even further. "Vozinha never committed to going to Rio de Janeiro, so he will not be in Brazil next week, as has been said," warned the Portuguese businessman. Words that further reinforced the imminent...

Vozinha, goalkeeper of the Cape Verde national team in the recent World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, is already in Chile to join Colo Colo as a new reinforcement.

Upon arriving at the airport, he was met with a large number of fans who welcomed him with flags of the Cacique, as well as of Cabo Verde. This situation was highlighted by the international press. L’Équipe, for example, titled: "Vozinha was received as a star in Chile after his historic participation in the World Cup with Cabo Verde." They further indicate that "his arrival in Chile further illustrated the enthusiasm generated by his performances. Received by an impressive crowd at the airport, Vozinha was treated like a super star by the Chilean club's fans.

In Uruguay, Referí shared that "Vozinha, goalkeeper and figure of the surprising Cabo Verde in the 2026 World Cup, arrived this Sunday in Santiago to sign for Colo Colo, the most successful club in Chile and one of the most..."

Vozinha is already in Chile. The uncertainty among Colo Colo fans is over. The 40-year-old goalkeeper, who gained international fame after Cape Verde's participation in the 2026 World Cup, traveled today and arrived in Santiago on Sunday night to become the new signing of the Primera League leader.

Confirming the trip, expectations began to grow to witness the arrival of the World Cup player. Despite it being a Sunday night in the middle of winter, a large crowd gathered at the airport (families with children) to see the media sensation goalkeeper. Fans arrived not only with flags or items related to Colo Colo but also with Cape Verde flags, images of Vozinha, and even people with the World Cup album.

The Cacique has scheduled his first activities in the country. The 40-year-old goalkeeper will arrive in Santiago this Sunday at approximately 8:30 p.m. After landing, he will leave the airport around 8:45 p.m., where a greeting to the press is planned. The African started his journey from Portugal, made a stopover in Madrid, and then boarded the flight to Santiago. Before taking off, he posted a message on his social media: "Loading... the next chapter is on its way." In recent days, there were doubts about his arrival after coach Fernando Ortiz responded with a brief "Do you know if he arrives?... Me neither" when asked about the status of the operation after the victory over Everton. However, the goalkeeper is already facing the process prior to his official incorporation into the team. Colo Colo's schedule states that on Monday, August 3, at 7:00 a.m., Vozinha will undergo medical examinations at Meds clinic. If he passes the medical checks, on Tuesday, August 4, he will have his first training session with the team at 9:30 a.m. Later, at 12:30 p.m., he will be presented in the press room at the Monumental stadium. The arrival of the goalkeeper also cleared up doubts about his presence at Rio Innovation Week, an event…

The soap opera comes to an end. After days of uncertainty at Colo Colo, Vozinha finally set course for Chile to sign with the Cacique. The sensation goalkeeper of the World Cup and chosen as the best goalkeeper of the tournament will arrive in the country during this Sunday. The Cape Verdean cleared up the doubts and began his journey. He traveled from Portugal to Madrid and then took a flight to Chile, just before 7:30 local time. According to what El Deportivo was able to find out, the 40-year-old goalkeeper will arrive around 8:30 p.m. Vozinha himself shared a series of stories on his Instagram account where he gave a hint of the next step in his career: "The next chapter is on its way," he wrote. In that sense, once he arrives in the country, the Cape Verdean will prepare for a crucial day. On Monday, medical exams will be conducted and he will then be officially presented by the Cacique.

Everton challenged Colo Colo, but failed to stop their winning streak in the Primera League. In Viña del Mar, the ruleteros were close to at least stealing a draw from the Cacique. However, the victory ended up going to the visitors: with a 4-3 score, in a goal-filled match, the Albos took the three points at Sausalito and remain at the top heading towards the title. On the Viña del Mar side, they valued the effort after facing the league leader, but also highlighted the mistakes that led to the defeat. "The game plan had worked. We knew they generate a lot with that 5-3-2 structure and that they put many players forward and on the wings, but we countered them with duels. We had scored and then they scored against us due to our mistakes and isolated situations. It's not an excuse, because we are physically fine, but we had three fewer days of preparation. We were always in the game and competed equally with the best team in the tournament. We are left with the feeling that, at least, we shouldn't have lost," said coach Walter Ribonetto. "In a match with seven goals, it's obvious there is a significant margin for errors. They have quality and they show it (...) The Clausura just begins and we still have a long way to go. We will be up to the challenge," added the Argentine coach. On the side of the players on the field, Vicente…

Colo Colo defeated Everton 4-3 at the Sausalito stadium and achieved its eighth consecutive victory in the Primera League. After the match, coach Fernando Ortiz valued the result, although he acknowledged that the team needs to correct aspects of its performance. "It's an important win. It was a very difficult opponent, who set up the game well. We were able to resolve it in many situations. I highlight the commitment and many things, but we need to correct," he said to TNT Sports. The white team managed to be ahead four times, but received three goals from an Everton that took advantage of the defensive errors of the league leader. In that sense, the coach also supported his players despite the mistakes shown during the match. "We don't do everything perfectly nor does everything go as we think. Players are human beings. We all make mistakes and the reaction is there," he affirmed. What is happening with Vozinha? The coach was also asked about Vozinha's situation, a goalkeeper whose signing was announced by Colo Colo more than a week ago, but who has not yet arrived in Chile due to personal problems, according to his environment. When asked if the goalkeeper will finally join the club, Ortiz avoided providing information and responded with a brief phrase. "You know?... Neither do I," replied the Argentine coach. The response comes amid uncertainty about the goalkeeper's future. In recent days, from Colo…

Colo Colo, at this point the exclusive candidate for the 2026 First League title, had a tough stop in Viña del Mar. More than expected. Fernando Ortiz's team got through the task, beating Everton 4-3. The glass half full: the leader keeps winning. The glass half empty: defended very poorly. All the soap opera involving Vozinha (and his signing) as the protagonist took a back seat to the preparation for the match against the ruleteros. The Cacique arrived in the Valparaíso Region as the best away team in the championship. It had only one defeat outside Macul: in the first matchday, against Limache. The novelty in the starting eleven was the return of Joaquín Sosa. The only good thing the first half left for the leader was the score. Showing noticeable defensive errors, it did not flow as its coach expected. Everton also exploited this, not hiding nor bunkering in its area. It went to press in the opponent's field, forcing the Albos' mistakes. The ruleteros were more in the initial 45 minutes. A quick start, with a pleasant rhythm, was dominated by gold and sky. It found a goal in the 8th minute, but it was disallowed for offside by Julián Alfaro, who was leaning on the left. The tall Montiel, Everton's center forward, challenged Arturo Vidal, who had a forgettable first half. A very poor performance by the King, losing several balls in the build-up. The home team was warning. It just needed to be more accurate. Until it...

The Rio de Janeiro Justice revoked the preventive detention of rapper Mauro Davi dos Santos Nepomuceno, known as Oruam. The decision is by Judge Tula Corrêa de Mello, of the 3rd Criminal Court of the Capital, who downgraded the charge from attempted homicide to minor bodily injury. The case concerns the incident that occurred on July 22, 2025, when the artist and others were accused of throwing stones at civil police officers in front of his residence in the Joá neighborhood, in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro. At the time, the officers were executing search and seizure warrants against a teenager suspected by the police of hiding in the property.

Arturo Vidal had a difficult first half with Colo Colo against Everton. The King was overwhelmed like few times this year. Not only by the speed of the attackers, but also in the passes, an aspect where he usually has positive numbers. For example, some losses in the exit of the former national team player forced direct interventions from goalkeeper Gabriel Mauereira. Positioned as a defender, the 39-year-old footballer had the most unusual situation at 44 minutes, when a pass complicated the goalkeeper, who was forced to intervene with his hands. After the action, referee Cristián Garay awarded an indirect free kick. The play resulted in a corner kick which ultimately was a penalty for Everton, after a handball by Álvaro Madrid. Alan Medina scored and it was 2-2 at the end of the first half. In Viña del Mar, the match started with the home team playing better. This was reflected in Medina's opening goal (24′). However, Fernando Ortiz's team reacted to the first blow and turned it around with two goals, scored by Maximiliano Romero (32′) and Madrid (42′). Then came the penalty equalizer.

Another day of uncertainty at Colo Colo. It has been eight days since the club announced the arrival of goalkeeper Vozinha, the most popular goalkeeper of the last World Cup. However, the goalkeeper has not yet arrived in Santiago, increasing doubts about the most media-covered international signing in the club's history. Because anxiety overcame certainty. Last Friday, the club president Aníbal Mosa announced the signing of the 40-year-old African player with great fanfare. However, as days passed, the goalkeeper's figure did not appear at the Monumental, despite social media already confirming the player's arrival. Amidst the concern, from the Pedreros club environment, it was confirmed that the goalkeeper would arrive on Thursday, July 30, at night, coming from Madrid. Visa issues and work permits had caused the delay. Despite this, the Albo fans were disappointed again, while director Jaime Pizarro came out to explain the situation. "Everything indicates, based on direct conversations with those working with him and with the player himself, that he must first resolve his personal issues and then travel. I hope this can be clarified and the itinerary clearly defined, which is what we all expect," warned the former first-team player. While that was happening, the Brazilian technological event Rio Innovation Week still had the Cape Verdean on its schedule, one of the attractions…

The last few days at Colo Colo have been busy due to the signing of Cape Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha. The goalkeeper reached an agreement with the club to defend the white jersey for six months, with the option to extend the contract for another year. Although his arrival in Chile was expected for this Thursday, the goalkeeper has not yet set foot on national territory. However, from Macul they indicate that this is about to happen. Ahead of the match between Colo Colo and Everton, coach Fernando Ortiz spoke about the goalkeeper. "Yes, I had a dialogue. The truth is that we exchanged opinions with Vozinha, as he likes to be called, I like it, Josimar as his name is. I saw him happy, I saw him content, although his way of thinking is not so expressive, he is happy with the option to be with us," said the coach. "Obviously he has his personal issues. Perhaps the anxiety generated by wanting to have a figure like him in our football is understandable. We hope he can resolve his situation soon and that we can count on him," Ortiz added. The wait The delay in Vozinha's arrival in Chile has been covered by various international media, especially due to the impact it had in North American World Cup. "Expectation in Chile over new delay of Vozinha to join Colo Colo," headlined Infobae. "The African goalkeeper, who has an agreement to join Colo Colo, would not have taken the flight that his…

A key day took place this Friday. After goalkeeper Vozinha was announced by Colo Colo as a reinforcement following his status as one of the main figures of the World Cup alongside Cape Verde, a concern arose within the Cacique. And not just because of his arrival date, which remains a topic that generates uncertainty in the Cacique. The African goalkeeper, whose name is Josimar José Évora Días, could not use the nickname with which he became popular in the North American World Cup 2026 due to what the regulations of the First League specify. However, this Friday, the ANFP Presidents' Council approved an exception so that the Cape Verdean could wear "Vozinha" on his back. The 16 first division clubs expressed their support, in a vote conducted individually. The meeting lasted only 30 minutes. It was delayed due to the late arrival of Deportes La Serena. At the meeting, Aníbal Mosa, the president of Blanco y Negro, confessed that the contract with the goalkeeper, who was noted as one of the revelations of the World Cup, had not yet been signed. Additionally, he revealed that one of Vozinha's demands was to be able to use his nickname on the jersey, given his identification and worldwide recognition with that reference. It is worth mentioning that the regulation, in article 36 of the bases, states that "for the personal identification of players, the paternal and/or maternal last name must be stamped on the upper part of the back of the...

The popular Cape Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha will not be able to have his nickname on Colo Colo's jersey and at this point, it is not even clear if he will arrive in Chile, but "Vozinha" could end up as a brand of cereal bars, probiotic foods, nutritional supplements, and other non-medical preparations, after Chilean businessman Tomás Betteley Barros applied to register the "Vozinha" brand for food with the National Institute of Intellectual Property (Inapi). On Tuesday, July 28, Betteley Barros, who according to commercial records owns the companies Impactmedia Tecnologia Limitada (a signage and advertising items company) and Ciudad Urbana Limitada (clothing and decoration), submitted an application to Inapi to register the word mark "Vozinha," under Class 5 of the Nice International Classification, corresponding to dietary supplements, nutritional bars, dietary preparations, and probiotic supplements. The application, filed at 12:48 p.m. that day, appears at the end of this edition as pre-approved. The process cost $71,649, according to official registration documents; far less than what this brand could be worth in the market. In the registration descriptors, Betteley Barros indicates that the mark corresponds to the name of a "living person" and that the transliteration into Spanish of the name is precisely, ...

Colo Colo is going through uncertain times. The goalkeeper Vozinha, who was announced as the new blockbuster signing for the team, did not board the flight to Chile this Thursday, the day he was supposed to arrive in the country. Speculations about the future of the player who was chosen as the best goalkeeper of the World Cup have been numerous, and Coquimbo took advantage of this situation to poke fun at the Cacique. On Friday, the team announced Vozinha on their social media sharing an image of the goalkeeper's hair and the word "aura." This Thursday, amid the uncertainty, Los Piratas posted on their social media "Aura only exists in Coquimbo," with an image of Diego Sánchez's pink-dyed hair, their goalkeeper. The post quickly caused a stir. Diego Sánchez, the Pirate goalkeeper: - Primera League Champion - Superchampion Supercup - League Cup finalist - Qualified for the Round of 16 of the CONMEBOL Libertadores - 8 penalties saved in decisive moments - 3 goals scored The true AURA is in Coquimbo 🏴‍☠️ pic.twitter.com/zdHjVtyUQc — Coquimbo Unido (@coquimbounido) July 30, 2026 It is worth noting that El Mono, as he is nicknamed, was key in last year's campaign when they won the Primera League title, and this year his saves earned them the Supercopa against UC. Additionally, the team from the Fourth Region will play the final of the League Cup against O’Higgins and the Round of 16 of the Libertadores against Platense from A…

The delay in Vozinha's arrival at Colo Colo raises alarms at Macul. Especially after it was known that the goalkeeper is registered for an event in Rio de Janeiro in the first week of August, called Rio Innovation Week. The footballer should present himself on August 5th "at the Main Plenary." "From the fields of the world's biggest football competition to the stages of the world's largest technology and innovation conference. On August 5th, Rio Innovation Week will host Vozinha to share the journey that led him to international recognition," said the event organizers. The situation draws attention considering that Blanco y Negro expects the goalkeeper to be available to Fernando Ortiz's coaching staff by next week. View this post on Instagram In fact, at Pedreros, they attribute the delay in his trip to personal reasons. "An additional deadline has been requested to resolve some personal issues, and of course, that has been accommodated to allow him to meet the needs he had," said Jaime Pizarro, executive director of Blanco y Negro. "He was at some point in Cape Verde, then moved to Lisbon, where he also carried out procedures related to other obligations he needed to fulfill. What remains now are these last hours, and we will probably have news regarding the travel itinerary soon," he commented. The former footballer added that even during this Thursday…

Vozinha's arrival at Colo Colo has no set date. Jaime Pizarro, executive director of Blanco y Negro, provided details about the delayed arrival of the goalkeeper to the country. "An additional deadline has been requested to resolve some personal issues, and obviously that has been accommodated to allow him to meet the needs he had," he stated. In this regard, he explained that the goalkeeper has had to travel between different countries to complete a series of procedures. "He was at some point in Cape Verde, then moved to Lisbon, where he also carried out procedures with other tasks he needed to fulfill. What remains now are these last hours, and surely we will have news regarding the itinerary for the trip," he commented. The former footballer added that even during this Thursday, they spoke again with the goalkeeper's representative. "We have had a conversation with his representative until just a few minutes ago. I understand that he has even contacted some media to inform about the particular delay that has occurred and what it is due to," he noted. Pizarro also explained that part of the delay is due to the necessary documentation for Vozinha to enter Chile. "They had to go to the consulate, obtain the visa, and generate all the documentation, which is quite different from situations we are more accustomed to, such as with Mercosur players, where entry is much more straightforward..."

Colo Colo signed the best goalkeeper of the 2026 World Cup. Vozinha shined in the World Cup under the three posts of the modest Cape Verde team, which surprised in its group, advanced to the next round, and was eliminated in the round of 16 in a tough fight against Argentina. The goalkeeper made saves against Spain, Uruguay, and even dribbled against Argentina. He became one of the most prominent figures of the tournament. As a result, his social media followers went from 50,000 to nearly 30 million during the tournament. But, what is known about Vozinha beyond the four matches in North America 2026 and the poor game he played against the Chilean team before the World Cup? On the same day Aníbal Mosa confirmed that the goalkeeper would join the club for this second half of the year, he immediately hurried to say that this was not a commercial move: “It’s not just marketing, because obviously he comes from a very good World Cup. He is very fit athletically and that’s why we’re bringing him. Now, when it’s combined with such a big global connotation, we’re also interested in that because it turns out to put our club on the global map.” A semi-professional start Born in Mindelo, he enjoyed playing for neighborhood clubs in his childhood. He did not train in youth academies, as is common for footballers on this side of the world, and debuted in a team in the 2007 season: Batuque FC of Cape Verde. He stayed there until 2011, when he moved to Mi…

Colo Colo makes efforts before the ANFP for Vozinha. In Macul, they seek for the goalkeeper to be able to use the nickname he is known by on his jersey. Otherwise, he will have to wear his surname. The popular goalkeeper's name is Josimar José Évora Dias. The request was formally submitted by Blanco y Negro through a letter addressed to the Quilín organization, signed by the general manager of the concessionaire, Alejandro Paul. In the document, the white team requests a "special, explicit, and specific authorization" for the goalkeeper to compete with the nickname on his jersey. "As a relevant background, it is worth noting that the player recently participated in the FIFA World Cup 2026, representing the Cape Verde National Team, using the identification 'VOZINHA' on his shirt. The above is especially significant, as this competition is the highest level of national team competitions in world football and is organized and governed directly by FIFA," the letter, which El Deportivo had access to, states. "The use of the name 'VOZINHA' does not respond to an identification created upon his joining Colo Colo, but to his usual sports name, recognized and officially used even in the main competition organized by the highest governing body of world football," it establishes. Pablo Milad had anticipated that Colo Colo submitted the request. "That s…

David Arellano is a key figure in the history of Colo Colo. The most important. In fact, his fans place him in a separate category, surpassing that of the great idols produced by the most successful club in Chilean football. The reason is obvious: he is the main protagonist of the founding of the club, on April 19, 1925. The normalist teacher was born on July 29, 1901. 125 years have passed since a date that for the Cacique takes on a particularly significant value. In fact, Macul's entity has extensively referenced the anniversary on its social networks. A doubtful David Arellano created with AI: Colo Colo's criticized tribute to the 125th anniversary of its founder's birth However, the tribute is full of criticism. Fans reproach that the images in the tribute are made with Artificial Intelligence, although the most relevant thing is that they bear little relation to Arellano's appearance and even to other elements of the institutional identity. There are several obvious examples. In the jersey worn by the recreated Arellano, the badge of the whites looks different from the one used in the era and even throughout the existence of the institution. Another example is the image of the Monumental stadium, which also does not resemble the appearance of the sports complex located in Departamental. View this post on Instagram Reproaches What irritates fans the most is that the club resorted to the herra…

These days, Colo Colo is in turmoil over the arrival of Vozinha. The Cape Verdean was one of the most attractive figures of the World Cup. With his saves, which are part of a remarkable record in tough matches such as against the champion Spain and the finalist Argentina, the African player earned the appreciation of the entire world. It is said that his social media reflected the phenomenon he became: he went from having 60,000 followers to accumulating almost 30 million. However, a week ago, the situation was different. The team was on track to fulfill Fernando Ortiz's actual request for the goalkeeper. The Argentine coach had requested the signing of Santiago Mele, also a World Cup player, but without minutes on the field, due to Marcelo Bielsa's decision not to include him in any of Uruguay's matches in the tournament. The Uruguayan was presented at Independiente. Independiente announces Santiago Mele, the goalkeeper Fernando Ortiz wanted at Colo Colo The team reached an extraordinary board meeting to approve the signing, but the meeting, which seemed like a formality, turned into a different scenario: the player's environment changed the conditions. Colo Colo was seeking a loan from Monterrey. It was in this context that Gustavo Quinteros' team showed interest in the goalkeeper. The trans-Andean team proposed a more attractive formula for the Mexicans. In the loan, they included an option to buy the player's rights...

Last Friday, just before the match against Deportes Limache, Colo Colo announced a fact that shook the international market. The Cacique announced the arrival of goalkeeper Vozinha, who was one of the figures of the World Cup with the Cape Verde national team. The contract was signed on Saturday night with a six-month bond to the club, with the option to extend it for another year depending on the satisfaction of both parties. Although during the World Cup the goalkeeper became known by his nickname, his real name is Josimar José Évoras Dias. So, where does the nickname Vozinha come from? According to the goalkeeper himself, some time ago, that name is a tribute to his grandparents, as Vozinha means "little grandfather." "My nickname comes from my grandparents. I never lived with my parents. When I was born, my father was in the army and my mother always had to work to make a living. So I was raised by my grandparents," the goalkeeper explained. He then explained that as a child, "I was very skilled with my feet, competitive and rebellious, I didn't like to lose. I received many blows and, when I couldn't retaliate, I would go home angry. The other kids would mock me and say I was going to complain to my grandparents." A complication for Colo Colo While in Macul they expect the goalkeeper to arrive in the country this Tuesday to undergo the necessary medical exams, there is already a matter that raises doubts due to the use...

The arrival of Vozinha at Colo Colo has an unexpected problem hours before his arrival in the country to be presented at the club: the popular goalkeeper, who was chosen as the best in his position at the World Cup, would not be able to play with his nickname. Article 36 of the championship rules states that "for the personal identification of players, the paternal and/or maternal surname must be stamped on the upper part of the back of the shirt between 5 and 5.5 cm in height, with the initial of the first name allowed. Nicknames, nicknames, or surnames will not be accepted. In the case of players with the same surname in a club, the initial of the first name or the second surname must be added to distinguish them, in that order of precedence." There are even penalties if this is not followed: "In case of violation of the obligations contemplated in this article, the infringing player will be sanctioned with an administrative yellow card and, for each violation, the infringing club will be fined up to 20 UF, according to the estimate made by the Autonomous Disciplinary Tribunal." The ANFP is studying this case Tonight, Pablo Milad, president of the ANFP, acknowledged that Colo Colo has already sent a formal request for an exception so that the Cape Verdean footballer can play with his nickname. "That will be analyzed tomorrow with the legal department. There is already a formal request from Colo Colo. We will review it tomorrow in the ...

On Friday, minutes before Colo Colo's victory over Deportes Limache, which would end up widening the Cacique's lead in the Primera League table, Aníbal Mosa was ending the uncertainty. Shortly before heading to the Monumental, the president of Blanco y Negro had completed a complex management, but one that ended up transforming the Albos into the center of attention worldwide: the signing of Vozinha, the sensation goalkeeper of the World Cup, part of the ideal eleven of the tournament held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. "Vozinha is going to be Colo Colo's goalkeeper," he said. Enough to generate real madness. No one was indifferent. At the Macul stadium, no fan failed to comment on the signing, although many noted the obstacle that the presence of the African will pose for the development of Gabriel Maureira and Eduardo Villanueva, the young players who took over the goalkeeping duties after Fernando de Paul's injury. At the management level, however, they justify the decision by saying Maureira will have commitments with the U23 and U20 national teams, so they cannot risk being left without a goalkeeper. Paradoxically, those who spoke the least were their new teammates. Only Claudio Aquino gave a lukewarm public welcome. At Cacique, they did not hesitate to attribute to Mosa and his persistence the idea of signing Vozinha. Fernando Ortiz valued the addition of the goalkeeper...

This Friday, before the match against Deportes Limache, Colo Colo announced a fact that shook the international market. The Cacique announced the arrival of goalkeeper Vozinha, who was one of the stars of the World Cup with the Cape Verde national team. The contract was signed on Saturday night with a six-month bond to the club, with the option to extend it for another year depending on the satisfaction of both parties. While in Macul they expect the goalkeeper to arrive in the country this Tuesday to undergo the necessary medical exams, there is an issue that already raises doubts due to the use of his nickname. This is because, according to the regulations of the Primera League, players cannot use nicknames on their backs. It should be noted that Vozinha is the pseudonym he uses, as his real name is Josimar José Évoras Dias.

This Friday, minutes before the victory over Deportes Limache, Colo Colo shook up the international market. The team achieved an understanding with Vozinha, a figure in the last World Cup, defending the goal for Cape Verde, and finalized a signing they had been working on for a couple of weeks. Minutes later, the Macul club announced the goalkeeper's addition through their social media accounts. However, up to that point, there was still no certainty that the contract had been signed. The goalkeeper, in fact, has not yet spoken about his arrival in Chile on the platforms where he experienced exponential growth during the global tournament. Officially Colo Colo: Vozinha signs the contract that links him to Colo Colo The peace of mind for the team came a few hours ago. On Saturday night, Vozinha signed the document that will tie him to Colo Colo. As reported by El Deportivo, the agreement is for six months, although it contains a clause that will allow it to be extended for another year, depending on the satisfaction of both parties. On one hand, the Cacique seeks to safeguard its interests based on the goalkeeper's sporting performance. On the other hand, the player reserves the option to review the bond in case of potential adaptation issues. In Macul, they expect the goalkeeper to arrive in the country this Tuesday. Then, he will undergo the usual protocol related to signings: he will undergo medical examinations to certify that he is in condition to d…

The media sensation of Vozinha signing with Colo Colo broke the market and caused a worldwide impact. The Cape Verdean goalkeeper, emblem of the surprise national team at the World Cup, will make his name in Chilean football. The goalkeeper will become the second Cape Verdean footballer to play in Chilean football after Adriano Custodio Mendes, who wore the jerseys of Santiago Wanderers and Deportes Iquique. The former forward was the precursor to Vozinha. In 1991, he arrived in Valparaíso and played nine matches with the caturros, scoring one goal. However, his time in the port city was marked by two expulsions. Meanwhile, he arrived in the Land of Champions in 1994. He played eight matches with the Blue Dragons, in which he did not score. In an interview with El Deportivo, Custodio Mendes recalled details of his experience in Chilean football: “The first time I went to Santiago Wanderers, in 1991. Óscar Cachín Blanco, who was managing a second division team in Argentina when I was playing for Colón, took me there. He asked me and I went to Valparaíso. And years later I returned to Iquique, where I stayed for seven months, until 1995,” he revealed. The Cape Verdean reminisced about when he faced the legendary Colo Colo of Mirko Jozic. Curiously, now, his compatriot Vozinha will play in Macul: “Look, I had to play against the greats. I had to face Colo Colo, champions of America, champions of everything. Pato Yáñez was there, Marcelo Bartic...”

The 40-year-old goalkeeper made global headlines after starring in Cape Verde’s historic run at the World Cup.

The arrival of Vozinha at Colo Colo generates a profound impact. The goalkeeper was one of the most attractive figures of the World Cup, due to his remarkable performances in the Cape Verde goal, which became one of the revelations of the tournament held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Reactions have occurred worldwide. The name of the white club has occupied pages and covers of various media outlets, which quickly became interested in the behind-the-scenes of the management that led the goalkeeper to become Fernando Ortiz's first reinforcement. In Macul, they see this reaction as the first return on the millionaire bet they made by signing the goalkeeper. Aníbal Mosa, the president of Blanco y Negro, was the main promoter of the initiative. Fernando Ortiz, the coach, had not requested it. The millionaire bet by Colo Colo and Aníbal Mosa on signing Vozinha At the Monumental, they reveal to El Deportivo the terms of the agreement. It is an initial contract for the rest of the season, with a renewal clause through 2027. That is, an agreement that, in the best-case scenario, can be extended by a year and a half, allowing the goalkeeper to compete in the Copa Libertadores in the Cacique's goal, with all the repercussions that entails. In Macul, they aim for that goal, considering the wide lead they have in the Primera League. The Albos are making an investment consistent with the contr…

The Cape Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha, who stood out as one of the biggest surprises of the World Cup, reached an agreement to transfer to Colo Colo, from Chile, announced the club's president, Aníbal Mosa, on the night of this Friday (24). The 40-year-old player, who is without a club, will travel to Chile to undergo medical examinations before being officially presented at the Monumental Stadium, Mosa told reporters before Colo Colo's match against Deportes Limache. Related news: Vozinha, the goalkeeper, hopes for a new contract: "a place where I can be happy." Vozinha shines against Spain and becomes a highlight at the World Cup. "Vozinha will be a Colo Colo player. In the coming days, he will travel to Chile, undergo the usual medical exams, and then be presented here at the Monumental Stadium." Mosa added that Vozinha's performances at the World Cup showed he deserved the transfer, while also recognizing that the signing also brings marketing appeal to the Chilean team. Although the agreement has not yet been finalized, Colo Colo gave a preview of the signing on social media with an image that appears to show the veteran goalkeeper's characteristic curly hair. Vozinha, who left Chaves, a Portuguese second division team, before the World Cup, was elected to the World Cup dream team. He was chosen by fans after helping Cape Verde, a debutant in the tournament, to draw 0-0 with...

Colo Colo signs Vozinha and shakes up the market. Not just the Chilean one. The impact of the arrival of the goalkeeper who guarded the Cape Verdean goal in the World Cup, with notable performances, is high and extends around the world. However, apart from the importance of the African, not everyone agreed with the white team's decision to add a new option for the position. Especially because of the satisfactory performances Gabriel Maureira has achieved. Not to mention, the goalkeeper trained in Macul performed very well in the victory over Limache. The contradiction of Colo Colo that Claudio Bravo notices and that gains more strength with Vozinha's arrival Claudio Bravo was one of those who raised his voice. His opinion, before the agreement with the African was finalized, takes on special validity. "Colo Colo is first in the tournament with the goalkeeper who supposedly has potential at the national team level, internationally, and they are looking for a goalkeeper... De Paul recovers, fights with the one you bring, and this guy becomes the third goalkeeper," declared the former national team captain on the ESPN program F90, where he serves as a panelist. Bravo, trained at the Cacique, comes to the defense of the promising goalkeeper. "If Colo Colo lost matches or points because of him (Maureira), it's understandable. In this case, he will make mistakes due to inexperience. It happened to all of us at some point in our careers. But it's hard to understand this situation, where there's no desire to seek his growth," he elaborated.

Vozinha shook up the transfer market worldwide. The Cape Verdean goalkeeper, who was the great revelation of the World Cup, will play in Chilean football after finalizing his move to Colo Colo. His high-profile signing with the Cacique will be marked by different milestones. He will be the first African player to wear the white jersey, while also becoming the second Cape Verdean footballer to play in the national league. The other? Adriano Custodio Mendes. The first Cape Verdean in Chilean football Adriano Tomás Custodio Mendes was born in Cape Verde in 1961, when the country was still a Portuguese colony. His childhood was marked by two significant events: the death of his parents and his migration to Argentina. His father died when he was eight years old. Four years later, he migrated to Argentina with his mother. There he was able to meet his sister for the first time, who had initially traveled with their mother, who had been forced to return to Cape Verde. She would die some time later. “I arrived with a briefcase, my documents, and a sheet that said: ‘I am Adriano Custodio Mendes’. I didn’t know my sister, I didn’t know who I was going to meet,” he said in an interview with Infobae. “I missed her very much. The food was different, the culture too. Many times I didn’t understand what I was doing living in another country,” he added. Custodio Mendes is currently settled in Argentina. Precisely, after the revelation of C…

Colo Colo made an unprecedented media splash. The arrival of the Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, the best goalkeeper of the last World Cup according to FIFA, puts not only the Macul team but also Chile on the map. This was demonstrated after the news went viral all over the world. It was enough for Aníbal Mosa to confirm the news, which the club later made their own on their social media, for the world's media to highlight the arrival of the African. "Colo Colo confirmed the agreement with Vozinha," headlined the Argentine sports newspaper Olé. In its subheading, the trans-Andean newspaper added that "the Cacique of Chile verbally agreed on the signing of Cape Verde's goalkeeper, a figure in the last World Cup. 'We have reached an agreement,' the club's president said." In the main article, the media stated that "from an unexpected figure of the World Cup, to the point that FIFA included him in its ideal team, to joining a big club in Chile: Vozinha, Cape Verde's goalkeeper, verbally agreed to join Colo Colo, with a contract until December 2027, the year in which the Cacique aims to return to the Copa Libertadores." The international agency Reuters highlighted on its main page a story that went around the planet. "Vozinha, hero of the Cape Verde World Cup, agrees to transfer to Colo Colo of Chile," headlined its British edition. It also added that "although the agreement is not yet..."

From being one of the great figures of the 2026 World Cup to becoming Colo Colo's first reinforcement for the second half of the Primera League. Yes, Vozinha - the goalkeeper from Cape Verde - will play for the Cacique for the next 18 months. "The novelty is that we have reached an agreement with the player so that he can join the team, the biggest in the country, in the coming days," assured the Cacique's manager, Aníbal Mosa. He then added that his signing "is not just marketing, because he obviously comes from a very good World Cup. He is very fit athletically and that's why we brought him. Now, when it is combined with the fact that he has such a big global connotation, that also interests us because it puts our club on the global map." The negotiations were complex, but the original proposal improved in numbers and timelines. To convince him, the Albos ended up assuring the goalkeeper's permanence for the rest of the current season and all of 2027. That arrangement ultimately convinced the goalkeeper, who was playing for Chaves, in the Portuguese second division.

Felipe Raipán smiled at the camera. Next to the youth Alfonso Olguín, he posed for photos with the north stand in the background. Arturo Vidal, Claudio Aquino, and the more experienced players approached to congratulate him, in a recurring action. This Friday, the forward scored the final 3-1 with which Colo Colo defeated Deportes Limache, in the 16th round of the Primera League, at the Monumental stadium, a result that allows them to maintain their lead over their pursuers at the top. It was the 84th minute of the match between Colo Colo and Deportes Limache at the Monumental stadium, in the 16th round of the Primera League. The Cacique was winning 2-1, but was suffocating because they were playing with one less player due to Erick Wiemberg's expulsion. The team from the Fifth Region was growing stronger on the field, seeking the equalizer, and Fernando Ortiz was looking to refresh the forward line. To do this, he took out Maximiliano Romero and replaced him with the 16-year-old Felipe Raipán. After two minutes on the field, he ran battling with two Limache defenders, who managed to stop the young Pucón native's charge and took the ball away. But Raipán had his revenge. At 88′, Claudio Aquino launched a cross that hit a visiting player’s leg. The ball fell into the area to Felipe Raipán, who was with the goal and the goalkeeper behind him. But the young player surprised everyone: he turned quickly, shot with his right foot, from a tight angle, and scored the decisive 3-1. The forward…

Colo Colo achieves its seventh consecutive victory and pulls away to 13 points at the start of the sixteenth round of the Primera League. The 3-1 win over Deportes Limache only confirms the good moment of the team at the beginning of the second half. After the match, coach Fernando Ortiz highlighted the way the team got the job done. The lineup changes, but the success of the Macul team does not waver, even after finishing with one less player due to Erick Wiemberg's red card. "What I most emphasize is the players' commitment, that's what stands out the most and I will keep saying it. Anyone who comes on as a substitute, never gives up, no matter the difficulties. That gives me satisfaction as a coach that I have a great team and an excellent squad," said the Argentine coach to TNT Sports. Of course, aside from the result, the news of the moment is the arrival of goalkeeper Vozinha from Cape Verde, chosen as the best goalkeeper of the last World Cup. Despite the confirmation from President Aníbal Mosa, the coach sent a harsh message. "I was not involved in the negotiations, I am not in charge of those things. I do know and am clear that he is just another player who will have to fight for his spot, like the others," explained the visibly upset trans-Andean. When asked if he had been explicitly requested by the coaching staff, he limited himself to saying that "it's something we had discussed and we know that each player who comes...

And now, to our business. The 2026 World Cup passed with Spain's victory and the Primera Division tournament resumes. Although football did not stop, the National Championship carries more weight. The leader Colo Colo raised the curtain and finally managed to overcome a rival that has known how to complicate their existence: Deportes Limache. It was 3-1, at Pedreros. Before the start of the game, news broke of the agreement between the popular team and goalkeeper Vozinha, the media sensation of the World Cup, one of the figures of the surprising Cape Verde, which reached the round of 16 and was eliminated by Argentina. Inevitably, the name of the veteran goalkeeper of the Blue Sharks, 40 years old, crossed the match. He comes to support Fernando Ortiz's team, which arrived at the start of the match with a 10-point lead and is, obviously, the main candidate for the title. The duel was not just any for the whites, considering Limache's favorable past record. Since moving up to the top division, the tomato growers had not lost to the Cacique. Until today. Colo Colo settled in the opponent's field from the start. With three in the back, with the role of libero embodied by Arturo Vidal, they maintained their triangle of midfielders and found more outlets on the right, with Jeyson Rojas, than on the left. The Limache players had their game plan clear in the first 45 minutes: obstruct spaces and play on the counterattack. In fact, in a quick break, they arrived in the 9th minute but...

Colo Colo is close to making a major move in the transfer market. The team is accelerating and has reached a preliminary agreement with Vozinha, the Cape Verde goalkeeper who played in the World Cup tournament held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, where he became one of the most attractive figures of the tournament with his performances. The team had begun negotiations several days ago, considering the need to reinforce the position due to the uncertain return of Fernando de Paul and the irregular performances of Gabriel Maureira, who took on the responsibility of guarding the Cacique's goal. The goalkeeper's environment had acknowledged to El Deportivo that there had been calls from Macul. Colo Colo advances in signing Vozinha: imminent agreement for the World Cup sensation goalkeeper The negotiations were complex. Initially, because the African, 40 years old, became a sought-after name in the market due to the explosion surrounding his figure. The most evident indicator was the exponential growth in his social media following. From the 60,000 followers his Instagram account had at the start of the tournament, it jumped to the current 29.5 million followers. This figure sparked interest from several clubs. Besides Colo Colo, Inter Miami, the team where Lionel Messi plays, also set its sights on the goalkeeper. Colo Colo made an initial proposal, which was rejected. Initially, the intention was for the Cape Verdean to finish the season with Colo Colo, to be continued...

This Friday, Colo Colo will host Limache. Facing the tomato growers, the team will start the second part of the schedule with a clear mission: to secure the title and have an impeccable campaign in the first half of the year. The Cacique accumulated 12 wins and three losses in the initial phase. With an historic 80 percent performance, they are ten points ahead of Universidad Católica. Fernando Ortiz requested reinforcements to strengthen a structure that works but still needs variations. The coach's requests are clear: he asked for a goalkeeper, a creative midfielder, and a winger. However, there are those, like Arturo Vidal, who prefer that no new signings arrive. Without reinforcements and with a much-desired renewal: how Colo Colo arrives at the restart of the First Division League The team conducted the inter-season training in Colombia, where no new faces were brought in. Upon return, there were also no new signings. At the beginning of this week, updates were expected. A board meeting was convened to confirm the first signing: the Uruguayan goalkeeper Santiago Mele. The goalkeeper, who was part of Marcelo Bielsa's squad in the World Cup, appeared as a luxury option amid uncertainty regarding Fernando de Paul's return and instability in Gabriel Maureira's performance, who took over the goal in Tuto's absence. Theoretically, it was just a formality. However, the process ended up being aborted...

On April 19, Colo Colo had a serious problem. In addition to losing that day to Palestino at the Monumental stadium, goalkeeper Fernando De Paul also suffered an injury, an avulsion of the right hamstring, which required surgery and kept him off the field for several months. The following week, 19-year-old youth player Gabriel Maureira took over as goalkeeper and, overall, responded well. However, the possibility always remained that when the transfer market opened, a goalkeeper would be signed. Now, that day has arrived: according to El Deportivo, Santiago Mele is fully set to sign with Pedrero and become the club's new goalkeeper. The goalkeeper was part of Uruguay's World Cup squad. The 28-year-old Uruguayan goalkeeper arrives in Macul on loan, as his rights belong to Monterrey in Mexico. The duration will be one year, so his contract will end in mid-2027. The goalkeeper was also being contacted by Independiente, but he preferred to join Cacique. Colo Colo completes the remaining step for Santiago Mele to become their new goalkeeper In a routine formality for the Albos, an extraordinary board meeting will be held today, with the sole agenda of ratifying the efforts made by the sports management to convince the Uruguayan goalkeeper. He was not the only candidate. Last week, it was revealed that Cacique was interested in…

The rumors linking Vozinha with Colo Colo continue to grow. After becoming one of the sensations of the 2026 World Cup for his outstanding performance defending the net for the Cape Verde national team, the African goalkeeper began to be linked to a possible interest that arose from the Monumental stadium. His representative, in fact, confirmed this. In an interview with El Deportivo, Adilson dos Santos assured that there had been contacts from Macul to understand his expectations. "Vozinha is a player who is followed by clubs all over the world. This is not the first news we have from Chile; there have been some contacts with Colo Colo as well as other clubs. But, look, nothing concrete or formal. We receive many communications to know the player's availability," the businessman acknowledged. Behind these calls, the player states that he wants to continue at a club that guarantees him the starting position. At 40 years old, he is without a team and wants to live his last seasons as a professional at the highest level. In that sense, during a conversation at the legends tournament organized by FIFA at Rockefeller Center in New York, the goalkeeper revealed his next steps in his career. "I want to play football for one or two more years. Maybe three. I'll see how my body reacts, but I am free and looking for a good project. I hope to find a good team soon," he confirmed. The negative...

With their minds set on once again showcasing their exclusive leadership in the Primera League, Colo Colo held a mid-season friendly in Colombia to return to Chilean football activity with good feelings. At the Campín in Bogotá, the Cacique was the guest of honor for Millonarios' 80th birthday and spoiled the party: with a goal from Claudio Aquino, they won by the minimum. From less to more Despite the special occasion, at the start there were few actions that indicated it was a celebration. Rather, the first half had a dull development with few approaches in both goals. For the home team, only at the 20th minute was there an arrival that excited the fans of the embajador team. After a combination that started at the feet of Rodrigo “Tucu” Contreras (a forward who wore the Universidad de Chile shirt in 2025), Daniel Ruíz finished with a frontal shot, and goalkeeper Gabriel Maureira responded confidently. One minute later, the first opportunity for the Albos occurred, with a cross that almost became an own goal. Subsequently, it was necessary to wait until the 41st minute to find the second chance for Fernando Ortiz's players. A great play orchestrated between Álvaro Madrid and Maxi Romero culminated in Leandro Hernández, who shot at the goalkeeper's feet when one-on-one. Heading into the second half, the outlook improved because both teams were d…

What started as a rumor, with more speculation than real certainty, has become much more concrete as the hours have passed. The certainty of seeing goalkeeper Vozinha at Colo Colo, the starting goalkeeper for Cape Verde, is no longer a utopia. Especially after the statements made by the player's representative to El Deportivo. Because the African goalkeeper was one of the great sensations of the World Cup, both on and off the field. His performances made him one of the standout players, aside from the nearly 30 million followers he gained on his social networks. After his contract with the humble Chaves, a club in the Portuguese second division, ended, the most famous goalkeeper in North America is looking for a club. At 40 years old, the islander player demonstrated his relevance, and several institutions have approached to inquire about his conditions. In this scenario, the option of Colo Colo emerges. The physical problems of Fernando de Paul and the instability of the young Gabriel Maureira, who took on the responsibility, highlight the need for Fernando Ortiz's coaching staff to reinforce the position. A spot that, even, they tried to fill at the beginning of the year after the coach contacted Argentine Esteban Andrada. Now, the African's situation gains strength. In Macul, at least, El Deportivo recognizes that there have been approaches with the goalkeeper's environment, although they particularly emphasize that these are 'preliminary...'

One of the teams that stood out in the North American World Cup 2026 was Cape Verde. The country making its debut in a World Cup managed to advance to the round of 16 as second in Group H, which it shared with Spain, Uruguay, and Saudi Arabia. And within the squad, the player who drew much of the attention was goalkeeper Vozinha, who at 41 years old became key in the matches of the Cape Verdean team in the competition. This performance, and the impact his name had, led Colo Colo to focus on the goalkeeper as an option to strengthen the goal, considering the physical problems of Fernando de Paul and the instability of the young Gabriel Maureira. The Colo Colo management considers the goalkeeper an "affordable luxury" and compares his situation to what happened at the time with Paraguayan Justo Villar. However, this move has also provoked the rejection of a Colo Colo legend. Roberto Rojas expressed his concern about the potential blow from Macul. "It seems more like marketing to me. It's unfortunate that Colo Colo isn't looking at the future of its goalkeepers," said the Condor in an interview with Redgol. He added, "I'm not saying this because of the quality Vozinha showed in the last World Cup at 40 years old. But I think it's absurd to mix marketing and sporting performance. Colo Colo should seek performance," he continued. He also warned that "not going for marketing with a player..."

Claudia Rivas grew up in a football dressing room. In the mid-70s, her father, Octavio Rivas – a pioneer of sports psychology in Mexico – began working with the first team of Los Pumas, and she, then 12 years old, accompanied him to the matches. At 15, when her mother died, that dressing room became her second home and also the place that marked her vocation: to follow in her father's footsteps and become a sports psychologist. Today she works for Club América – the team with the most titles in the history of Mexican football – and has also helped develop the talent of tennis players, golfers, skaters, and riders from that country. But when she started down this path, in the early 80s, not only was sports psychology a rarity in sports: women in football were also rare. It was so unusual to see them in a dressing room that once Los Pumas had to play at a different stadium and she was not allowed to enter without first performing a "purification ritual": "Public relations and I were told: 'You can't pass. Nothing like a godmother here.' Then the president of our club said: 'They are part of the team and they pass.' Unfortunately, there are no photos, but they brought a shaman who filled everything with smoke. At that time, it wasn't thought that women could be referees or sports journalists," she recounts. "Unintentionally, we had to be pioneers," says Claudia Rivas, q…

Vozinha was one of the sensations of the World Cup. His performances turned him into a true phenomenon. The most conclusive indicator is the explosion that occurred on his social media. His Instagram account has more than 29 million followers. At the start of the tournament, that figure, a perfectly valid measure of popularity, reached 50,000. The goalkeeper is looking for a club. At 41 years old, he ended his contract with Chaves, of the Portuguese second division. His performances in the Cape Verde goal and, above all, the reach provided by his millions of followers on digital platforms make him a desirable target. On one hand, sporting and, on the other, in terms of profitability. Vozinha is, these days, a successful brand. Vozinha to Colo Colo? The truth behind the Chilean club's interest in the Cape Verdean goalkeeper, sensation in the World Cup In Chile, Colo Colo is looking for a goalkeeper. Fernando de Paul's physical problems and the instability of the young Gabriel Maureira, who took over the position left vacant by the former San Luis and Universidad de Chile goalkeeper, created a need in coach Fernando Ortiz's staff. There is a concrete request in this regard, which the leadership led by Aníbal Mosa is trying to resolve while the team develops the inter-season training in Colombia, where they will face Millonarios this Saturday. It is in this context that the name of Vozinha was proposed as an option. In Macul, in any case, re…

When international rankings measure universities as a whole, the picture is usually predictable. However, when specific disciplines are examined, the map changes. The results of the 2026 QS and Times Higher Education (THE) global subject rankings reveal that Chile has consolidated "poles of world-class excellence" in areas such as mining, architecture, health, and education. Although both rankings use different methodologies, their results coincide on several points: education, social sciences, health, engineering, and physical sciences repeatedly appear among the areas where Chilean institutions achieve their best performance. In the QS By Subject 2026, Universidad Católica leads four of the five major evaluated areas: Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences and Management, Engineering and Technology, and Life Sciences and Medicine. Universidad de Chile concentrates some of the best national results in natural sciences and disciplines linked to natural resources, while UC stands out for its disciplinary breadth in Arts and Social Sciences. Both are the only institutions present in all five major areas analyzed. Following them are the Universidad de Santiago and the Universidad de Concepción, with a presence in four of the five areas, while the Universidad Católica de Valparaíso manages to position itself in three. The highest ratings ob...

The final minutes of the match. It could have changed the score, but not the outcome of the game. This is because Colo Colo was dominating La Serena and relentlessly searching for their fourth goal, aiming for their fifth consecutive victory. And the much-desired goal came in the least expected way. Francisco Marchant was in a shooting position and took a soft, cross-shot that shouldn't have posed any problems for the home team's goalkeeper, Federico Lanzillotta. However, incredibly, the ball slipped through his hands and between his legs, entering the goal as if it were asking for permission. The player from across the Andes couldn't believe it and buried his face in the grass of La Portada stadium, while Marchant and Javier Correa ran to celebrate with Arturo Vidal, who, by the way, was one of the key players in the match. 🧤⚽👀 The goalkeeper's blunder!

Colo Colo, the league leader, took another significant step forward. While it might be premature to talk about winning the title, as the first half of the season hasn't concluded yet, it's hard to ignore the advantage they have over the other teams. They traveled to La Portada and defeated Deportes La Serena 4-2. Following their victory at the Claro Arena last weekend, Fernando Ortiz's team solidified their position as the best away team in the National Tournament (15 points in six games, as of Saturday) and had the opportunity to extend their lead over their rivals. The coach was forced to make changes to the lineup due to the suspension of Tomás Alarcón. Lautaro Pastrán came in to play, forming a flexible 3-4-3 formation. Colo Colo pressed hard at the beginning of the match, while Deportes La Serena struggled to control the ball. However, the game began to shift. After a strong start, Colo Colo began to lose momentum. Conversely, Deportes La Serena gained confidence, adopting a less risky strategy compared to what they had shown, for example, against U in the Copa de la Liga. It was a 4-4-2 formation where Ángelo Henríquez wasn't the main striker, but rather played on the right, effectively as a midfielder. The former Dinamo Zagreb player once again suffered from injuries and had to be substituted in the first half. Depending on the opponent and the circumstances of the match, Ortiz's Colo Colo likes to maintain possession of the ball, although this doesn't always translate into creating scoring opportunities...

A heated controversy erupted involving Sergio Markarián, the former coach of Universidad de Chile, during a radio program in his home country, Uruguay. The 81-year-old professional engaged in a harsh exchange of words with sports journalist Julio Ríos on the program "Las Voces del Fútbol," and called him a "bad person." The argument began when they were discussing whether zonal marking or man-to-man marking was superior, with Markarián defending the former. It was then that the commentator reminded him that Nacional had won everything in 1980 because their players were responsible for marking a specific opponent in all areas of the field. The champion with Universidad de Chile in the 2009 Apertura Tournament retorted that Nacional had never defeated them, stating, "I won both matches," and the conversation escalated. "You're telling me a lie," Ríos responded, and Markarián insisted, "I have never lost to that team, I have never." The host then reminded him of a classic match played on April 23, 1987, in a friendly tournament, where Nacional defeated Peñarol 2-1, playing with only 8 players on the field. "I know, you're a terrible person. Everyone talks about that match, except the Peñarol players who played... And I'm not going to say it," the coach exclaimed, becoming agitated. Later, in a fit of anger, he emphasized, "What you're doing is despicable. You're a terrible person... In my life, I only have one regret, and that's this, and it's something that everyone who wants to hurt me brings up. And you're hurting me. And I'll tell you more: I didn't..."

Deportes Concepción is currently at the bottom of the first division league table. The reality is disappointing, especially after a 2025 filled with hope, including the prospect of promotion, and a promising start that initially made the team a focal point of attention due to the quality of players they signed, with the aim of having at least a relatively calm season in the top division. The reality has hit them hard. They have only won two matches and lost eight. This poor performance has already cost the jobs of two coaches: Patricio Almendra, who led the team in the previous season, and Walter Lemma, who was hired with the goal of turning things around. Alejandro Gutiérrez has taken over as interim coach. He will be assisted by Gabriel Vargas and Edzon Riquelme. "Train until you win": Deportes Concepción fans are losing patience and protesting against the players. The fans have lost patience. In fact, they expressed their frustration after the defeat against Everton at the Ester Roa Rebolledo stadium, a match they considered a good opportunity to start a comeback. For several minutes, they criticized Lemma's decisions and, above all, the players' lack of attitude. This Wednesday, the fans took another form of protest: they erected banners with messages directed against the players and the management, in front of the Ricardo Keller sports complex in Nongún. The message on one of the banners reads: "Train until you win."

The coach of the Deportes Temuco women's team, Esteban Valencia, has been involved in an unusual situation in the first division. According to local media, the coach missed the team's last three away games. According to the journalist Francisco Hermosilla, the current head coach of the team did not accompany the players in the matches against Deportes Iquique, Colo Colo, and Universidad de Concepción, due to religious duties he performs at a temple in Temuco. In these matches, Gonzalo Bascur was the one who accompanied the players and signed the official forms, representing the coaching staff of the southern team. This conflict of activities, however, must be addressed, as the championship regulations establish a maximum number of allowed substitutions. In light of this situation, Valencia himself explained the matter at a press conference. "I don't work alone; this, of course, was discussed (with the management). I am aware that as a club, we have very limited resources, and often we rely on the willingness of each person who works there... I also need to provide some clarity," he began. "It's possible that we might play another game on a Sunday, and I might face the same challenge again, but we will find a solution," he added later. Finally, he expressed his surprise at the way this issue has been portrayed in Temuco. "I appreciate the emphasis and importance that is being given to this..."

Walter Lemma joins a regrettable list. The Argentinian has been fired from his position as coach of Deportes Concepción. The team lost 0-2 to Everton. They currently occupy the last place in the standings, with only eight points. They are two points behind Unión La Calera, who are in second-to-last place, and three points behind Audax Italiano, who are just outside the relegation zone. The former assistant coach to Gustavo Quinteros at Colo Colo becomes the fifth coach to be fired so far in the tournament. In fact, the situation of the southern teams is noteworthy: they have contributed two coaches to this list. The previous coach was Patricio Almendra, who had achieved promotion last season. Lemma replaced him in mid-March. The fifth coach fired in the First Division: Deportes Concepción fires Walter Lemma just two months after his arrival. The coach, who had previously managed Unión La Calera, coached the team in 10 matches, including matches in the First Division and the Copa de la Liga. He suffered seven defeats. Two draws and one victory were not enough to offset the poor record he achieved. After the defeat against Everton, the team's fans strongly protested against his continued presence. The management, led by Diego Livingstone, had concluded that another defeat would derail the entire process. The rest of the dismissals: Changes in coaching positions have been a constant feature of this season. The first dismissal occurred in February: Javier …

The University of Chile was evaluated by the consulting firm SCImago, which generates various rankings to measure the quality of universities, placing it in the top position in the country. This international organization has been highlighting the best universities worldwide since 2009. In this year's evaluation, the University of Chile has once again secured the top spot in the country. Furthermore, the institution, located in the Bello district, ranks seventh among Latin American universities. The evaluation highlighted that, based on verifiable and objective data related to research, innovation, and social or societal characteristics, it demonstrates the work of the university community and the Bello institution, as explained by the rector, Rosa Devés, who stated that "this evaluation confirms that the University of Chile is a leader at the national level and one of the leading universities in Latin America in terms of academic quality." "This ranking considers objective indicators in research, innovation, and social impact. These three areas are fundamental to our institution and reflect the high standards with which our community conducts its academic work in an increasingly complex and competitive environment for the development of knowledge in the country and the world," added the institution's highest authority. According to the report, the strongest area of the Bello institution in this evaluation is its societal impact, which includes its influence on media and public policy, among other factors.

Fernando Ortiz's Colo Colo wasn't quite satisfying the demanding and success-oriented fans of the "albo" team. However, the controversial coach has the team at the top of the league table, the competition that rewards the most consistent team of the year. This Sunday, Colo Colo was indeed the team that its loyal fans expect to dominate their opponents and to truly showcase their strength. They thrashed Ñublense 6-2, solidifying their position as league leaders. Considering the results of the matchday, the popular team was looking to extend their lead at the top of the standings. This came after a setback against Coquimbo Unido in the Copa de la Liga, which means they are not entirely in control of their own fate in that tournament. For the match against the team from Chillán, the starting eleven was reinstated. Ortiz continues to experiment with the lineup in search of the best possible performance. While he used a 4-3-3 formation against the "piratas" (pirates), he returned to a three-man defense against the "Diablos Rojos" (Red Devils), with Arturo Vidal playing as a sweeper. He fielded a strong midfield, with the trio of Madrid, Alarcón, and Méndez, and Leandro Hernández partnered with Javier Correa in attack. Maximiliano Romero was ruled out due to injury. There was no traditional "double 9" striker pairing. The first thirty minutes of the match were a complete dominance by Colo Colo. The superiority of the team was evident on the field at Pedreros. The home team controlled possession, gradually taking control of the field in the opponent's half. The visiting team tried to rely on quick transitions, hoping for an opportunity. Despite the…

Colo Colo had a match point opportunity in the Copa de la Liga. This Wednesday, they aimed to catch up in the new national football competition. If they had defeated Coquimbo Unido, in the pirates' home ground, they would have secured their place in the semifinals. However, that did not happen, and they were far from achieving it. Following their usual pattern, the "pirates" (Coquimbo Unido) did their job, winning 1-0 and overtaking their rival in Group A. Despite it being a direct confrontation, both teams opted for changes and did not field their strongest starting lineups. Fernando Ortiz, the Colo Colo coach, was unable to count on Maximiliano Romero, who was injured. Meanwhile, Javier Correa and Arturo Vidal were placed on the bench. Colo Colo's attacking trio consisted of Under-21 players: Marchant on the right, Cuevas in the center, and Hernández on the left. On the bench, waiting for his opportunity, was Franco Garrido Caszely, the grandson of Colo Colo's greatest idol. He did not enter the game. The tight and intense schedule left Hernán Caputto, the Coquimbo Unido coach, with no choice but to make changes. This match was the first of three games they will play in seven days, all in different tournaments (Friday in the Primera Liga and Tuesday in the Copa Libertadores). This situation allowed, for example, Lucas Pratto to start as the number 9. The first half was characterized by a shared dominance. Both the "pirates" and the "caciques" (Colo Colo) had periods where they were more dominant than their opponent, although nothing decisive. The initial 45 minutes were volatile. In this regard, the Chilean champion started at a fast pace...

Cacique secured a victory in Group A of the League Cup. Colo Colo defeated Deportes Concepción 3-1 and is hopeful of qualifying for the semifinals of the tournament. The team started by conceding a goal but managed to come back, a rare occurrence during Fernando Ortiz's tenure. The coach was asked about his concerns regarding these statistics, but he was firm: "No, not at all. For me, the most important thing is to focus on winning the match, regardless of the score. If we are losing, I try to turn the situation around. If this was the first time, the most important thing, as I always say, is that the players are the ones who make it happen, and they were able to achieve the result because we needed to get points," he began, speaking on TNT Sports. He was also asked about the frequent changes in tactical formations: "It concerns me, but at the same time, I am focused on continuing to try and find a more offensive team, where we can convert the opportunities we create," he said. "We are continuing to grow, we are continuing to improve. We are always striving for our best version and we are on the right path," he concluded. Correa, once again a standout player Javier Correa, meanwhile, was chosen as the man of the match by the official broadcast: "I was surprised, to be honest. I thought that 'El Chinito' or Maxi might have been the standout player. The team showed character in the second half and we quickly turned the game around. It's important to continue this good run," he said. He also commented on the need to adapt to playing with a double striker...

The League Cup is also a goal for Colo Colo. In this new competition, the team has been performing well. This Saturday, they came back from behind against Deportes Concepción and secured a 3-1 victory, becoming the sole leader of their group. The history favored the "albos" (Colo Colo's nickname), as they had won both matches they had played this season: one in the League Cup and another in the National Tournament. Fernando Ortiz made some changes to the lineup. However, one thing that didn't change was the starting formation with two forwards. He persisted with the idea of playing Javier Correa and Maximiliano Romero together from the beginning. The change was in the inclusion of Leandro Hernández as a link player, moving behind the strikers (Claudio Aquino was unavailable due to injury). Despite being eliminated from the competition and focusing on staying in the first division, the "lilas" (another nickname for the team) took their visit to Macul seriously. The match became more complex than expected for the league leader, particularly in the first half. The offensive approach of Colo Colo is not in question. What remains is the lack of clarity the team shows during various parts of the games. This was evident again. There were constant attempts to advance the ball during the first half, but the final touch was missing to create real danger in the opposing area. Colo Colo had control of the ball, but they weren't dominating the game. One of the few opportunities they had in the initial period was a long-range shot by Tomás Alar...

The question that many Colo Colo fans are discussing these days is who should be the center forward. On one hand, there's Javier Correa, who, with his dramatic header against Universidad de Concepción and his two goals against Coquimbo, is once again proving to be an important player for the team. On the other hand, there's Maximiliano Romero, who, just a few weeks ago, was the undisputed starter in that position. He also scored in those two recent matches (although both goals were from penalties) and remains the top scorer for the team in 2026. The club's strikers are finding the back of the net and are helping to ease the pressure on Fernando Ortiz, who has put the team at the top of the league. However, their performance still doesn't fully convince the fans. In this context, a strong, or even two, center forwards are crucial to finding the solutions that Colo Colo's collective play sometimes fails to provide. Although "Tano" (Correa) and Romero played together in the last match against the "Piratas" (another team), forming a double "9" for 79 minutes. After a turbulent start to the year, Correa is making a strong comeback. After scoring three goals in the last two matches, Javier Correa seems to be the favorite in this competition. However, his 2026 season has been a rollercoaster. "I had a lot of injuries... it was tough. But I have a lot of determination to overcome everything," the Argentine declared, with tears in his eyes, two weeks ago, after scoring against Universidad de Concepción.

The Santiago Metro announced the closure of seven stations on Line 4 due to a person on the tracks. The affected stations are Tobalaba, Cristóbal Colón, Francisco Bilbao, Príncipe de Gales, Simón Bolívar, Plaza Egaña, and Los Orientales.

Javier Correa had been going through a difficult time. A lack of goals and an injury that kept him out of several matches had caused him to lose his starting position at Colo Colo. However, the unpredictable nature of football meant that he played a crucial role against Universidad de Concepción, and Fernando Ortiz gave him another chance to wear the jersey in the match against Coquimbo Unido. And the Argentinian didn't disappoint. He was the star of Colo Colo's victory against the reigning champions of the First Division, scoring two goals when it seemed like the visiting team was about to take all three points home, or at least secure a draw thanks to Vadalá's goal (56'). "I don't know if this is a rebirth at Colo Colo," the striker revealed in a conversation with TNT Sports. "I work hard for this, and when I went through difficult times, I focused on my family and on trying to help people." But his voice was filled with emotion when he recalled the moment he embraced his son, Bautista, who is in Colo Colo's youth academy and was acting as a ball boy in the aforementioned match. "These are moments I cherish... He's in a beautiful learning process," he said, referring to the moment after his first goal and Colo Colo's second. "We need to correct that slump." While he was happy with the victory, which keeps Colo Colo as the sole leader of the First Division, Fernando Ortiz warned that there is a serious mistake that his team needs to work on. "I'm satisfied. Yes, we need to..."

The first division league caught up. And Colo Colo remained alone at the top. At the Monumental stadium, Colo Colo defeated Coquimbo Unido 3-1 in a match corresponding to the 9th round, which had been postponed due to the team's participation in the Copa Libertadores. Colo Colo owes a debt of gratitude to Javier Correa, who once again proved to be the savior. Fernando Ortiz's team had the opportunity to solidify their position as the sole leader of the championship. To that end, the coach made changes to the starting lineup, aiming to add more offensive power to the team. He abandoned the 4-3-3 formation used against U. de Concepción the previous week, opting for a 3-5-2. Arturo Vidal returned to the team as a defender (and captain, due to the absence of Fernando De Paul). Up front, there was a double striker pairing: Correa and Maximiliano Romero, starting together. Coquimbo Unido, on the other hand, made changes with an eye on the physical demands of the Copa Libertadores. Coach Hernán Caputto left six starting players on the bench: Salinas, Azócar, Galani, Camargo, Zavala, and Johansen. This provided an opportunity for Guido Vadalá and Lucas Pratto, who arrived at the beginning of the year as high-profile signings. Lacking a player with playmaking qualities, Colo Colo relied on direct play and the width provided by their full-backs (Fernández on the right and Ulloa on the left). Of the three midfielders forming the triangle, Felipe Méndez occasionally took on the role of playmaker. It was difficult for Colo Colo to find their rhythm, especially against the two…

Colo Colo 0-0 Coquimbo Unido Good afternoon. Welcome to a new broadcast of El Deportivo from La Tercera.

Colo Colo and Coquimbo Unido are catching up. While the rest of the First Division teams are participating in a new round of the League Cup, Colo Colo and Coquimbo Unido will play the postponed match from the ninth round of the First Division League. Colo Colo are leading the standings alongside Deportes Limache. However, from a footballing perspective, they haven't fully convinced yet. One of the most frequent criticisms revolves around their limited attacking power and, primarily, their lack of effectiveness in front of the opponent's goal. For example, they had to struggle to secure the three points against Universidad de Concepción. The tactical changes that Fernando Ortiz intends to implement to revitalize Colo Colo against Coquimbo Unido. Fernando Ortiz is taking notes. The Argentine coach has prepared modifications following the victory against the team from Campanil. The idea is that Colo Colo will show a new face against the pirates, one that is closer to what their fans aspire to. In fact, there may be another full stadium at the Monumental: a capacity of 43,000 spectators has been authorized for the match, scheduled for this Sunday at 5:30 PM. There will be both personnel and tactical changes. For example, Arturo Vidal will return to the defense, having been unavailable for the match in Concepción due to accumulated yellow cards. After the match against Palestino, "El Rey" (Vidal) complained about the criteria used when issuing yellow cards and requested respect for his career. With his return, Colo Colo aims to…

Numerous studies have warned about how the use of social media by children can lead to a range of consequences, both for their physical and mental health. To protect minors from the dangers they may encounter online, as well as the effects associated with its use at a young age, some specialists have suggested measures such as prohibiting its use or delaying the age of access. Others have proposed strategies that emphasize strengthening their ability to identify potential risks. Dr. Maree Davies, a professor of education and social practice at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, published a book in March titled "Teaching Critical Thinking to Teenagers" (Routledge, 2026). In the book, the expert argues that teaching critical thinking to children and adolescents is essential for them to navigate a world where factors such as artificial intelligence (AI), algorithms, and fake news are increasingly prevalent. In a recent interview with CNN, she discussed the key aspects of her new book. How developing critical thinking can protect minors from the dangers of social media. Davies explained that critical thinking "is the ability to question, analyze, and carefully evaluate information or ideas before deciding what to believe or do." "It often involves considering counterarguments and weighing the evidence to deter..."

Gabriel Maureira continues to accumulate accolades. His performance against Universidad de Concepción, in his debut as a starting goalkeeper for Colo Colo, has earned him high praise. At just 19 years old, the goalkeeper is achieving what only a select few can. In fact, one must look to Claudio Bravo and Marcelo Ramírez to find similar examples. Maureira made at least a couple of crucial saves against the team from Concepción, although the praise went beyond simply preventing goals, which was his primary responsibility. The goalkeeper was also praised for other aspects of his game. "I was very impressed. In the seventh minute, he had his first one-on-one against (Cecilio) Waterman, and from then on, he had a very good game. He made good decisions. He showed personality, composure, and character. I always say that you take the technical skills and physical attributes for granted. The key is personality, and he excelled in that area. In a championship match, playing away, he had a great performance," said, for example, Marcelo Ramírez, a legendary Colo Colo goalkeeper, to El Deportivo. The ultimate compliment: Claudio Bravo acknowledges Gabriel Maureira's performance in the Colo Colo goal. The young goalkeeper received another significant compliment: from Claudio Bravo. The best Chilean goalkeeper in history did not hide his praise for the new Colo Colo goalkeeper. "It's a very complex position, where even the smallest mistake can cost you your career in crucial moments. Maureira entered the game with the pressure of…

The referee, José Cabero, documented a series of regulatory violations in his report following the match in which Colo Colo defeated Universidad de Concepción. The referee included a complaint against forward Maximiliano Romero for displaying a religious message during the celebration of a goal. "Player number 19, Maximiliano Romero of Club Colo Colo, while celebrating a goal, displayed a religious message ('God's moments are perfect') on his undershirt," the document states. FIFA regulations stipulate that it is prohibited to display messages, slogans, images, or advertising of a political, religious, or personal nature on undershirts worn beneath the team uniform. In fact, this is not the first time that an incident of this nature has been documented in a referee's report. Forward Nelson da Silva displayed the same message on his undershirt during a match between Palestino and Deportes Limache, which was also subsequently reported by referee Claudio Díaz in his official report. Furthermore, Cabero's report also detailed other observations related to compliance with the tournament regulations. In the case of Campanil, it was noted that players Facundo Mater and Bastián Ubal were not wearing the official logo of the First Division League on the right sleeve of their jerseys, in violation of Article 45 of the regulations, titled "Compliance with obligations to the Championship Sponsor by the Clubs..."

Two expressions from Javier Correa clearly demonstrated the importance he placed on the goal he scored this Sunday in Collao, which gave Colo Colo a crucial victory over Universidad de Concepción. The first was the tears with which he celebrated the decisive goal for the team. The second was an unmistakable gesture related to his mental strength, and ultimately, it also reflected the feeling of relief he felt when he scored against the Campanil. Before the match in the south, the former Universidad de Concepción striker had experienced a difficult 2026. He had only scored against Everton, and to make matters worse, he had suffered an injury that kept him out of the squad for several matches. The player received criticism on social media for his lack of productivity in scoring goals, and Fernando Ortiz took him out of the starting lineup, opting for Maximiliano Romero instead. Javier Correa opens up after giving Colo Colo the victory: "I haven't been doing well; these goals nourish the soul." The gestures and reflections of the striker after his performance in the south summarize that accumulation of situations. "It's important for winning, for staying at the top. It's important for everyone. It's a collective release. Personally, I'm doing well. It was a release. I had been injured a lot. I hadn't been doing well with my physical condition. These goals nourish the soul," he initially stated. Correa alluded to the prolonged scoring drought he had been facing. "You always go through that situation. I think that..."

Colo Colo reclaimed the top spot in the First Division league after defeating Universidad de Concepción 2-1 at the Ester Roa Rebolledo stadium. The victory allowed Fernando Ortiz's team to regain the lead in the championship. They are tied for the top position with Deportes Limache. Arturo Vidal, who was unavailable due to suspension for accumulating yellow cards, followed the match remotely. The midfielder reacted live during a broadcast on Kick, enthusiastically celebrating the decisive goal scored by Javier Correa in the final minutes. "What a goal, Correa! That's the way to do it, Toro. Aquino's cross, Correa's goal," he commented. "Believe me when I tell you, they had to be in the starting lineup. Correa is a machine. It's so nice to win like this," he added. The midfielder also commented on the performance of goalkeeper Gabriel Maureira, who made his first start for the club due to Fernando de Paul's injury. The 19-year-old goalkeeper completed the match in Colo Colo's victory. "They all prepare every day for this. He has the support of the coaching staff and his teammates. I saw him do well. He's a good goalkeeper, but he needs to gain confidence. He's truly good," Vidal said. In the same vein, the midfielder discussed the development of the young goalkeeper and emphasized that his growth will depend on his continued participation in matches. "He's still inexperienced, but he's showing promise. He's been doing well, and goalkeepers improve by playing. In the…

Colo Colo managed to celebrate a hard-fought victory this weekend. The hero of the match was Javier Correa, who appeared in extra time to score a header, securing the 2-1 win for Colo Colo against Universidad de Concepción. This was a special match for the forward, especially considering the difficulties he has faced recently, as he acknowledged after the final whistle. "I always say the same thing. I prepare to be ready. Then it's up to the coach to decide who plays. Today, I had to wait a while, but I'm happy," Correa said in an interview with TNT Sports. He also expressed his emotions when recalling the injuries he had to overcome in recent weeks and the criticism he received regarding his performance with Colo Colo. "I've had a lot of injuries. Criticism comes based on what one shows. We talked about it during the week, that today we would break the losing streak. I want to thank the fans who came. You have to work hard to be here; it's not easy to be here," he said. "I've been through a lot. I've been dealing with injuries for the past month. It hasn't been easy, but I have a lot of determination to overcome everything," Correa concluded. Ortiz's Analysis For his part, the Colo Colo coach commented to the television network that "We played a great first half. In the second half, we didn't enter the game with the right focus," he told TNT Sports before adding that "with desire and determination, we take the three points to Santiago..."
