Cape Verde hero reunites with mother at the World Cup

Cape Verde goalkeeper Josimar Dias, widely known as Vozinha, has become one of the standout figures of the current World Cup. After earning MVP honors in the match against Spain, the 40-year-old goalkeeper captured hearts worldwide not just for his saves, but for his emotional personal story.

At the center of his journey is his family, who have been supporting him throughout the tournament. While most of his relatives were able to travel with him, his mother was initially unable to join due to visa difficulties.

It is very important to me. My family is a very important part of my life, they have always supported me in everything, and having her here with me is very special. Josimar Dias

Fortunately, the visa issues were resolved, and Josimar’s mother has now arrived to join him and other family members at the tournament. The goalkeeper expressed his happiness, noting that having his loved ones nearby provides him with significant support as Cape Verde prepares for its upcoming matches against Saudi Arabia and Uruguay.

Cape Verde is set to return to World Cup action on Sunday, June 21. The team will face Saudi Arabia at the stadium in Houston.
