‘World Cup’s sexiest fan’ Ivana Knoll cheers on Croatia in Nations League final as she watches their heartbreaking defeat by Spain on penalties in Rotterdam
Croatian model Ivana Knoll was cheering on her country during the Nations League final in Rotterdam – after making a name for herself at the World Cup last year.
The 30-year-old beauty attracted a lot of attention for her red-and-white outfits in Qatar during the 2022 edition of the global tournament – and she was in the audience in Holland as Croatia challenged Spain for the Nations League trophy.
However, they lost the match on penalties, with Dani Carvajal scoring the decisive goal from 12-yards after a goalless draw across 120 minutes of action in Rotterdam.
Knoll, a former finalist in the hunt for Miss Croatia 2016, posted images of herself at the match to her Instagram page, back again in her trademark red and white checks, including a short skirt and thigh high boots.
The 5’11 star has amassed over 3.3 million fans on the photo sharing social media application, with her popularity growing significantly with her appearances in Qatar during Croatia’s run to the World Cup semi-finals.

She was one of 25,000 Croatia fans to be at De Kuip in Rotterdam, but they were unable to see their nation win. Croatia are still searching for their first international trophy.
Croatia continue their international journey with a pair of Euro 2024 qualifiers against Latvia and Armenia in September.
Meanwhile, Knoll has continued to be recognised at football matches since the 2022 World Cup, often wearing clothes inspired by the Croatian flag.
She was one of the fans at Manchester City’s Champions League triumph in Istanbul last weekend, attending in the red and white outfit despite the blue colours associated with both the Citizens and losing side Inter Milan.
