Former Miss Croatia, Ivana Knoll, has been dubbed the World Cup’s ‘sexiest fan’ not only has she got the attention of football fans but she has also amassed huge followership on her different social media platforms. It was reported that a number of foreign brands had picked interest in her.
Knoll a Croatian model who through out the time her country was in the tournament turned heads while at her nation’s games. The 26-year-old brunette has sported a range of eye-catching outfits throughout the tournament which had not only made headlines, but also risked her arrest in Qatar, as officials regard her public appearance as misleading, negative model by which other teeming female supporters may choose to follow her footsteps.
That’s because the Gulf state has strict rules when it comes to what women can wear. Both male and female visitors to Qatar were advised to ‘dress modestly’ in public during the World Cup by organisations such as the UK Foreign Office – but Knoll has no fear.
Knoll was confident that she wouldn’t have to compromise, though, having answered critics before Croatia thrashed Canada 4-1 last time out.
“First I was thinking if the World Cup is happening there (Qatar), for sure they will allow us everything to make it comfortable for all fans without any of the restrictions,” she said.
“Then I heard about the rules and I was shocked. The dress code forbids showing shoulders, knees, belly and everything and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I don’t even have the clothes to cover all of that .I was super angry because if I’m not a Muslim and if we in Europe respect hijab and niqab, I think they need also to respect our way of life, our religion and in the end me wearing dresses, bikinis because I’m Catholic from Croatia who is here because of the World Cup.
Croatia who was kicked out by Argentina on Tuesday 13th by a 3 none victory, has made Croatian show how proud they are of their national team for their beautiful performance.
Kroll also took it to her Instagram and Snapchat handle to appreciate Supporters and players of how pleased she was and as even as they are no longer in if for the trophy she prays that the team prepare to fight for the third place come Saturday.
She also mentioned that she is open for more international endorsements.
