Ivana Knöll, 30, is the noble fan of the Croatian national team. She is there live at every game and attracts a lot of attention.
The Croatian is a real super fan, she already supported her team loudly at the last two World Cups in Brazil in 2014 and in Russia in 2018. But the young woman causes a stir with her skimpy outfits and dance routines at the games.

In the conservative Islamic kingdom, however, she is accused of disrespect. The 30-year-old also has to take a lot of criticism on Twitter. Female visitors to the World Cup are advised to cover their shoulders and avoid short skirts.
Knöll was again live on site for the third group game against Belgium. A photo released after the game shows Qatari men smirking and secretly snapping photos of the 30-year-old model. The men are protected on Twitter. “FYI, they’re not taking the picture because they like her, but because they don’t like the way she’s dressed incorrectly in relation to our culture,” explains a Qatari entrepreneur on the social media Platform.
