Inside lavish life of ‘World Cup’s hottest fan’ as she drapes herself over supercars & sends bikini snaps from Maldives

THE World Cup’s “hottest fan” is a Croatian beauty who says she isn’t worried about being arrested for breaching Qatar’s strict laws on modesty.

Ivana Knoll, 30, is a German-born model and designer who has been pictured cheering on her country at this winter’s tournament wearing a range of revealing outfits.

Many of her figure-hugging displays are in the distinctive red-and-white chequerboard design of the Croatian flag.

For the Balkan team’s World Cup opener against Morocco, Ivana was pictured in a full-length red-and-white checked dress with a hood.

At Croatia‘s last game against Canada, the stunning brunette went one step further when she was filmed in a short low-cut dress red-and-white checked dress with matching socks that exposed her shoulders.

Smiling, the 5’11” model posed for selfies with supporters.

Ahead of the tournament, she also shared two pictures of herself in a Croatian-inspired thong bikini which she claimed were taken on a beach in Qatar.

It isn’t known what she will wear for their final group match, a crucial clash with Belgium on Thursday at 3pm.

Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Ivana moved to Croatia at a young age and makes it clear through her outfits where her loyalties lie.

The UK Foreign Office advised female visitors to Qatar to cover their shoulders and avoid wearing short skirts in the majority-Muslim country.

But Ivana claims so far she has had no difficulties from Qatari authorities or security officials.

Speaking outside Doha’s Khalifa International Stadium to the PA news agency, she said: “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.

“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.

“But when I arrived I was surprised they were not making any problems about dressing, they allow you to wear everything what you want – except in government buildings, and in the end that’s fine.”

She also said she was “never afraid” of being arrested, adding: “How can my dress or bikini hurt someone?“

Ivana first went viral for her outfits at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and says she is used to people asking for photographs.

She splits her time between Croatia and the US, and runs her own swimwear agency “knolldoll” making distinctive bikinis in the colours of her home nation’s flag.

Thought to have a net worth of around $1million (£830k), she calls her famous outfits the CROkini.

She graduated from a private high school but never went to university, instead focussing on her career.

Ivana shares pictures of her luxurious lifestyle with her almost 900k Instagram followers, including expensive cars, exotic holidays to the Maldives, and trips to other major sporting events, such as the Super Bowl and NBA clashes.
