Vozinha is the oldest player to debut at the World Cup

Josimar Dias, known to fans as Vozinha, spent over a decade chasing a dream that most professional athletes abandon by their thirties. He did not begin his professional career until the age of 25, largely because scouts in his home archipelago of Cape Verde dismissed him for being too short. Despite these early rejections, he persisted through leagues in Portugal, Angola, and Cyprus to eventually reach the world stage.
