Croatia's sexiest fan Ivana Knoll stunned her three million Instagram followers by stripping down to a tiny black bikini in Miami after her country's 4-2 loss to England
Croatia's ultimate football cheerleader Ivana Knoll has set pulses racing after stripping down to a skimpy bikini following her nation's recent tournament defeat. The stunning influencer, affectionately dubbed the "Knoll Doll" by her army of admirers, originally shot to global stardom during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Her eye-popping, Croatia-themed outfits in the stadium stands quickly earned her the unofficial crown of the tournament's "sexiest fan," a title she has fiercely defended ever since.
Now boasting a massive three million followers on Instagram, the brunette bombshell has turned her viral match-day moments into a full-blown empire, having recently returned for the 2026 tournament in North America.
She regularly leaves her global fanbase stunned with her risqué fashion choices and glamorous lifestyle.
Following Croatia's 4-2 defeat at the hands of England, Ivana hopped right on a flight back to her sunny base in Miami to nurse her football heartbreak.
Taking to social media, the 33-year-old flaunted her jaw-dropping curves in a sizzling poolside snap, rocking a tiny black bikini that left very little to the imagination.
Unsurprisingly, fans rushed to the comments section to shower the model with compliments.
It wasn't all doom and gloom before the final whistle, though.
Ahead of the high-stakes clash against the Three Lions, Ivana made sure to get the party started by spinning tracks during a pre-match DJ set - all while wearing a trademark Croatia-inspired bikini top.
Since her breakout moment in Qatar, the multi-talented model has successfully launched a career behind the decks, performing DJ gigs across America while perfectly balancing her love for music, modelling and football.
While the recent loss stung, Ivana and her fellow supporters will be desperately hoping Croatia can find their form again and replicate the legendary form that saw them reach the World Cup final back in 2018.
