Colo-Colo Move Could Force Cape Verde Goalkeeper Vozinha to Change Shirt Name

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha could wear a different name on his shirt if his proposed move to Chilean club Colo-Colo is completed. Chilean league rules generally require players to use a paternal or maternal surname, rather than a nickname. Vozinha's full name is Josimar José Évora Dias, while “Vozinha” is the name most fans recognise. Colo-Colo president Aníbal Mosa says the club has approached the Chilean football authorities about a possible exemption. Vozinha is expected to sign an initial six-month deal, with an option to extend it for another year.
