From São Vicente, Cabo Verde, to the Ballon d’Or stage.

Vozinha’s journey has always been bigger than football. 
At 40 years old, after standing tall for Cabo Verde on the biggest stage in the world, he has become the first Cape Verdean ever nominated for a Ballon d’Or award. 

vozinha1 is also the oldest active player nominated at this year’s ceremony. 🇨🇻👑

But what makes this moment even more powerful is the way Vozinha sees it.

He does not see this nomination as something that belongs only to him. He carries his family, his teammates, São Vicente, Cabo Verde and every person who believed in him along the way.

“I carry São Vicente, Cabo Verde and an entire people who never stopped believing.” - Vozinha 🗣️

That is Vozinha.

Humble. 
Grateful. 
Grounded. 
Historic.

Congratulations, Voza!

The world is finally seeing what our people have always known. 🙏🏾🇨🇻 - A LEGEND BEFORE THE WORLD CUP & FOREVER!
