Vozinha discusses life changes after 2026 World Cup

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, formerly a player for AEL, has admitted that his life has been significantly altered following his standout performance at the 2026 World Cup. The sudden rise in his popularity has made it difficult for him to maintain his personal peace and privacy. He frequently deals with fans requesting photos or autographs during private outings, such as visits to restaurants, and often finds himself being recorded without his consent.

Regarding his professional life, Vozinha confirmed that he received numerous commercial offers during the tournament. However, he maintained a selective approach, completing only one promotional collaboration with UFL Mobile. He explicitly stated that he has no interest in partnering with tobacco, alcohol, or betting brands. Reflecting on his transition from an obscure player to a recognizable figure, the goalkeeper admitted that, if given the choice, he would prefer to return to the life he lived before the tournament's increased public exposure.
