Cabo Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha was nominated among the ten best goalkeepers of the year in the Ballon d'Or distinction. This nomination comes after a memorable performance in the qualification for the 2026 World Cup, which was described as a dream for the athlete and for Cabo Verde.
Regarding coaches, Vincent Kompany, currently at Bayern Munich, was included in the group of nominees for best coach, surrounded by four Spaniards among the candidates for the award. This nomination stands out for the predominantly Spanish-origin coaches present in this category.
