The 2024 Ballon d'Or revealed the nominees for the goalkeeper of the year award, among which appears Vozinha, goalkeeper international for Cape Verde. This nomination places the Cape Verdean footballer among the best goalkeepers in the world today.

The list of nominees for this category includes three Spanish players, reflecting the strong representation of Spain in European football. Among the candidates are players from various leagues and countries.

The goalkeeper of the year award is one of the special categories of the Ballon d'Or, which distinguishes the best players in specific positions. The winners will be announced during the official ceremony of the event.

Vozinha, who represents the Cape Verde national team, thus becomes one of the few African goalkeepers to feature among the nominees for this prestigious individual award in world football.
