The World Cup’s sexiest fan sparks controversy for wearing skimpy outfits to Croatia’s group matches. The Croatian model, Ivana Knoll, who attended Croatia’s earlier group-stage matches in Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, was slammed by netizens for disrespecting the country’s laws and wearing daring outfits, but the locals were okay with it.
Ivana deserves some sort of medal of freedom for the work she’s doing in Qatar risking her life at the 2022 World Cup. The Instagram superstar, who was clearly defying the Qatari rules and regulations handbook today outside Al-Bayt Stadium by dumping out her chest and bronzed bare skin, is also openly calling the soccer event a “disaster.”
“This is a disaster,” Ivana said this week. “I feel sorry for all the people who can’t go to the World Cup because of the worst organization in history. My entourage didn’t get a Hayya card even after 20 days, even though they have all the tickets to the final,” she added, referencing documents fans needed to attend matches.
The U.S.-based model who boasts a robust 580k Instagram fans followed up that quote with today’s performance before the Moracco-Croatia match (0-0 draw) where she held court outside the stadium.
Ivana, in her Croatian-flag-inspired dress, posed for photos with fans who couldn’t believe their eyes in a country where the rules and regulations handbook clearly states there will be modesty of women.
Fortunately, Ivana claims that authorities in Qatar are “not making any problems” with her despite her risqué outfits and skimpy clothing. In one outfit, pictured above, Ivana wore a body contour outfit with a red and white checkerboard pattern that revealed a great view of her cleavage for her Instagram fans and followers.
“The locals confirmed to me that I can wear whatever I want,” Ivana told TMZ this week. “But I didn’t know that my video in a bikini walking by the sea would be such a big deal. The whole country is speaking about it. Everybody knows me here, and I saw that I was accepted.”
In fact, low-cut tops and short skirts were cut out of their wardrobes as ordered by team officials, according to the Daily Mail. And the media outlet reported this week that the women were also advised to consider wearing a scarf as to not show off their chests or reveal their figures.
Clearly, Ivana Knoll didn’t get those memos from Team Croatia.
Yes, Ivana covered her head and shoulders for the match, but her onesie dress was holding on for dear life as the moneymakers were out in full force right there for the Qatari government to get a good look at and yet, from all indications, she’s not been thrown in jail for her clothing choice during today’s match.
“It’s clear why so many people didn’t even want to participate in this circus!” told The Sun after arriving on the scene in Doha.
Hats off to Ivana. We salute your bravery.
