FIFA World Cup 2026 | 'Big Hearts, Big Fighters': Vozinha After Cape Verde Reaches Knockout Stage
Cape Verde have produced one of the most remarkable stories in FIFA World Cup history, becoming the smallest nation ever to reach the knockout stage
Cape Verde have produced one of the most remarkable stories in FIFA World Cup history, becoming the smallest nation ever to reach the knockout stage after completing an unbeaten run through Group H on their World Cup debut. The heart and soul of Cape Verde's campaign has been Vozinha — a 40-year-old goalkeeper whose commanding performances have defied both time and expectation.
Speaking after the Saudi Arabia match, he delivered a line that captured the spirit of an entire nation: "We are small. But we have big hearts and we are fighters."
