The Story Behind

Josimar Dias, revered globally by his football moniker Vozinha, has stood as the literal and figurative backbone of the Cape Verde national football team for over a decade. Since making his international debut in 2012, Vozinha has guided the Blue Sharks through some of their most historic triumphs, including their legendary run to the quarter-finals of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and their heroic performances in the 2021 and 2023 tournaments. With over 60 international caps, his leadership on the pitch and his miraculous reflex saves against continental powerhouses have solidified his status as a living legend in Mindelo, Praia, and across the global Cape Verdean diaspora. This specific figure immortalizes his classic stance, ready to defend the goal line against all odds, representing the golden era of Cape Verdean football.

Every detail of this vinyl figure is engineered to evoke the raw emotion of match day at the Estádio Nacional de Cabo Verde. The striking yellow kit represents the vibrant energy and sun-drenched landscapes of the islands, contrasting beautifully with the deep blue and red accents of the national federation crest. The stylized design captures his signature curly hair, focused gaze, and open-glove posture, symbolizing his readiness to block any incoming strike. Holding this figure brings back the collective roar of the crowd during crucial qualification matches, serving as a permanent reminder of how a small island nation defied the odds to capture the imagination of the entire footballing world.

Care and Maintenance Guide

To preserve the pristine paint job and structural integrity of your vinyl figure, keep it displayed in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays can fade the vibrant yellow pigments of the goalkeeper kit and degrade the vinyl material over time. When cleaning is necessary, utilize a dry, ultra-soft microfiber cloth to gently sweep away dust from the textured hair and base. Avoid using abrasive sponges, liquid detergents, or chemical solvents, as these substances can strip the high-fidelity thermal decals and ruin the matte finish of the figure.

This collectible possesses a solid, satisfying weight that reflects its premium composition, ensuring it remains securely upright on its custom-molded display stand. The figure is balanced perfectly to prevent tipping, while the smooth, matte texture of the vinyl offers a tactile experience that feels substantial in hand. For collectors who prefer to keep their memorabilia in mint condition, the sturdy window box features reinforced cardboard edges and a crystal-clear plastic viewing pane, allowing you to display the piece without exposing it to environmental dust or handling wear.
