Vozinha, hero of the 2026 World Cup, immortalized by a new species of mollusk – La Nouvelle Tribune

Cape Verdean goalkeeper Vozinha, hero of the 2026 World Cup with seven saves against Spain, has given his name to a new species of marine mollusk, Aldisa vozinhai. The species was named by Spanish researcher Jesús Ortea from the University of Oviedo. The specimens come from Cuba and Guadeloupe, but the tribute was decided after the player's performance in Cape Verde's draw against Spain on June 15, 2026.
