Viral trends: 'Gut genug', Celine Dept and Vozinha
MEEDIA's #trending covers three recent social-media virality stories tied to the FIFA World Cup and platform-driven attention.

Vozinha Gains Over 11 Million Instagram Followers in Two Days
After an outstanding performance in Cape Verde’s 0–0 World Cup draw with Spain, goalkeeper Josimar José Évora Dias (known as Vozinha) became an international social-media phenomenon. His Instagram following exploded from roughly 40,000 pre-tournament to over 1.9 million immediately after the match and reached more than 11.6 million within 48 hours (article published 2026-06-17). The surge has drawn media attention (including Reuters and Tagesschau), comparisons to another viral player Tim Payne, and brand/transfer speculation as Vozinha’s club contract was due to expire at the end of June. The article highlights platform activity across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and notes publisher and creator amplification (e.g., sport-publisher 433 and creators like Valen Scarsini).

A paraglider near Salzburg filmed a collision with a small plane, survived using her reserve canopy, and the ORF Instagram reel reached about 13.8 million views and 320,000 likes; major German and Austrian outlets covered the incident.
