Cape Verde hero sets World Cup record.

On the night of June 15th, goalkeeper Vozinha set a record for the oldest player to debut in the World Cup after a stellar performance that helped Cape Verde hold Spain to a 0-0 draw in Group H.

Goalkeeper Vozinha became the oldest player in history to make his debut at a World Cup.

At the age of 40 years and 12 days, the Cape Verde goalkeeper made history in the tournament with his first World Cup appearance. In the match against Spain, Vozinha proved to be a reliable last line of defense with 8 outstanding saves, directly helping his team secure a valuable point.

Vozinha was born on June 3, 1986, in Mindelo, Cape Verde. With this milestone, he officially surpassed the previous record held by Atiba Hutchinson (Canada). At the 2022 World Cup, Hutchinson made his debut in the match against Belgium at the age of 39 years and 288 days.
