Vozinha, the Cape Verdean goalkeeper, has not only become the most followed goalkeeper on social media, surpassing Iker Casillas' numbers, but he has also now overtaken Portugal's official Instagram account.
The Cape Verdean shot-stopper boasts over 25 million followers, currently standing at 25.7M, compared to the National Team's 25.1M. This upward trend is expected to continue in the coming days.
Before his World Cup 2026 campaign concluded – with an extra-time defeat to reigning champions Argentina in the Round of 16 – Josimar Dias had approximately 18 million followers. However, after eight crucial saves, including several against Lionel Messi, his count has now soared to 25 million.
In total, across four matches, the 40-year-old goalkeeper kept clean sheets against European champions Spain (0-0) and Saudi Arabia (0-0). He conceded two goals against Uruguay (2-2) and three against Argentina (2-3), but made an impressive 18 saves throughout the tournament.
