One of the World Cup’s most notorious fans turned heads on Wednesday night when she attended her country’s first game in an extremely skimpy outfit.
Model and influencer Ivana Knoll has become well-known over the past few years for her presence at Croatia’s games, and she was once again front and center as they took on England in Dallas.
Despite the 4-2 loss for her beloved country, Knoll appeared to still have a good time, flashing a smile for cameras and creating a love heart with her hands.
Knoll went viral just weeks ago on US soil after her appearance in the Formula 1 paddock in Miami wreaked havoc.
In a hilarious clip on Sky Sports, the camera operator appeared to become momentarily distracted when he followed Knoll rather than the on-screen presenters, and a McLaren mechanic also appeared stunned as she passed.
Fans on social media had a similar reaction at the World Cup game on Wednesday night, as she shed her layers and opted for a sheer corset top and denim shorts in the Dallas heat.

On her Instagram story, she documented her day at the game, posting a celebration video after the first Croatia goal.
After the game, she DJ’d at a local Dallas bar, as her fame continues to skyrocket after her initial rise at the 2018 World Cup.
It is understood Knoll now lives in Miami, where she has become well-known as the sport’s ‘sexiest fan’.
She was slammed in 2022 for her revealing outfits in a very conservative country in Qatar.
‘There is good and bad and some things are blessings and some are lessons,’ she told Daily Mail in 2024.
‘I am the type of person who doesn’t care about other people’s opinions anyway.

‘But definitely my career changed a lot in an amazing way (after Qatar) and it helped me to get back to my biggest love which is music.’
She said the recognition that the World Cup gave her had led to her being invited to DJ at events like Formula 1 and to Las Vegas.
‘Nobody made me nobody can break me. I choose the harder way for my career not to sell myself or my soul and it’s not easy but I am making it.’
She said having followers on Instagram and more on other social media platforms, was ‘mind blowing.’
