What Gloves Does Vozinha Wear?

The Night That Changed Everything

On June 15, 2026, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, a 40-year-old goalkeeper from a country of 600,000 people did something the world did not expect. He held Spain to a 0-0 draw.

Spain had 27 shots. Over 2.0 xG. Ferran Torres hit the crossbar. Mikel Oyarzabal had a follow-up header saved at full stretch in one of the great goalkeeping moments of the tournament so far. Lamine Yamal came on and registered 36 touches in 19 minutes without finding a way through. And throughout all of it — for all 90 minutes, for all 27 shots — Vozinha was there.

Seven saves. A historic clean sheet. The oldest goalkeeper ever to keep a clean sheet on his FIFA World Cup debut, confirmed by Opta. On his hands throughout every single moment of it: the Elite Sport Revolution X White goalkeeper gloves.

THE SAVE 🧤

The Glove — Elite Sport Revolution X White

Vozinha wears the Elite Sport Revolution X White goalkeeper gloves — part of ES's flagship Revolution X line, built for professional-level performance. These are the gloves that were on his hands for every save against Spain, for every punch under pressure, for every distribution that launched Cabo Verde's counter-attacks.

The Revolution X White is built around ES's Ultra GTech Pro latex — a 4mm palm that delivers exceptional grip in both dry and wet conditions. It is designed for the goalkeeper who cannot afford a single slip. At a World Cup, on the biggest night in your country's football history, with 27 shots coming at you from the reigning European champions, that is exactly what Vozinha needed. The Revolution X White delivered it.

The Technology Behind Every Save

Every save Vozinha made against Spain was underpinned by the technology inside the Revolution X White. Here is what makes this glove the professional choice at the highest level:

The Seven Saves — What the Gloves Had to Do

Every save Vozinha made against Spain put a different demand on the Revolution X White. Here is a breakdown of each key moment.

Who Is Vozinha?

Josimar José Évora Dias, known as Vozinha, is a 40-year-old goalkeeper born in Mindelo on the island of São Vicente, Cabo Verde. He plays his club football for Chaves in Portugal's second tier — a career spanning 19 years and clubs in Angola, Moldova, Portugal, Cyprus and Slovakia.

The nickname "Vozinha" — meaning "little voice" — followed him from childhood, when he grew up with his grandparents in Cape Verde while his father served in the military and his mother worked. He turned professional at 25 and made his international debut in 2012. He arrived at the 2026 World Cup — Cabo Verde's first ever — as a 40-year-old who had won exactly one trophy (the Cypriot Cup with AEL Limassol in 2019).

On June 15, 2026, wearing his Elite Sport  gloves, he became a global icon overnight. His social media following grew by millions within hours. The world asked: who is this goalkeeper? He was an Elite Sport  athlete — and he was wearing the Revolution X White.

Why the Revolution X White?

Goalkeepers at the professional level do not choose their gloves by accident. Every decision about latex, cut, fitting and weight is deliberate — made in full knowledge of the conditions they will face and the demands of the position.

Vozinha wears the Revolution X White because it delivers the professional grip and fitting he needs at international level. The Ultra GTech Pro latex is one of ES's most proven compounds — designed for exceptional ball adhesion in all conditions, with cushioning to absorb the pace of elite-level shots. The Flash Cut construction gives him the seamless internal fit that means glove movement and hand movement are one — critical when you have a fraction of a second to react to a Ferran Torres shot from six yards.
