Mother of Cape Verde hero, Vozinha, finally makes World Cup journey
المصدر: CGTN EN | Source: CGTN ENCape Verde’s 2026 FIFA World Cup opener ended in a historic 0-0 draw against European champions Spain, but one of the most emotional stories emerged after the final whistle.
Veteran goalkeeper Josimar "Vozinha" Diaz spoke openly about a personal setback off the pitch — his mother was unable to attend the tournament due to visa and financial challenges.
That has now changed. Ana Cândida Évora, with support from multiple parties, will be able to attend and watch the upcoming matches.
In an exclusive interview with China Media Group (CMG), she shared memories of her son's early love for football in Praia and reflected on what it means to finally see him compete on the world stage.
