Josimar Jose Evora Dias: Chile's football federation (ANFP) has granted a special exemption allowing Cabo Verde goalkeeper Vozinha to wear his famous nickname on the back of his Colo Colo shirt, despite league regulations that generally prohibit players from using nicknames on match jerseys.

The 40-year-old goalkeeper, whose full name is Josimar Jose Evora Dias, joined Chilean giants Colo Colo on a six-month deal earlier this week after attracting worldwide attention with his performances during Cabo Verde's historic run to the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to the BBC, regulations set by the Chilean FA require players to use their legal names on shirts, with nicknames or sobriquets not normally permitted. However, Colo Colo successfully requested a special exemption, allowing the veteran goalkeeper to continue wearing "Vozinha", the name by which he has been known throughout his career.
