Soccer fans in Toronto might be in need of a hydration break after all.
Ivana Knoll, a Croatian influencer/model who has been dubbed the FIFA World Cup’s “sexiest fan” is set to make an appearance in the Great White North next week.
Knoll, who also DJs under the name Knolldoll, appears set to perform at an after-party as Lavelle following Croatia’s match against Panama on Tuesday, June 23.
Knoll also likely will be attending the game at Toronto Stadium after having taken in Croatia’s opener against England in Dallas on Wednesday – while wearing an eye-popping outfit.
Knoll rocked an incredibly revealing top based on the checkerboard pattern of the Croatian flag, with only small pieces of fabric covering her breasts.
She paired the tiny top with Daisy Duke-style jean shorts that had red-and-white checkered pockets poking out of the bottom.
Knoll also documented her reactions during the match while sitting in the lower bowl directly behind one of the nets.
The raven-haired beauty was spotted taking photos with fans and did her best to stay positive throughout the game despite England defeating her side 4-2. After the match, she praised Croatia for playing hard while lamenting a penalty kick given to the Three Lions, which broke the game open.
During her time in Dallas, she also partied in the streets with a large group of Croatian fans and then later took to the stage for an after-party at a local night club.
It seems that FIFA itself can’t help but acknowledge Knoll’s ever-growing popularity. She was the headliner during the FIFA Fan Festival in Los Angeles on June 13 before heading to Texas.
How did Ivana Knoll go viral at Miami F1 race?
She also made a viral appearance during last month’s Formula 1 grand prix in Miami.
As former F1 driver Jensen Button was delivering analysis to colleagues Simon Lazenby and Naomi Schiff while walking through the paddock, Knoll strolled past them, clearly catching the attention of the camera operator.
The camera followed Knoll — who was wearing a revealing black crop top and jean shorts – as she walked through the shot and gave a brief smile as she passed the lens.
When she exited the frame, the camera drifted to a McLaren mechanic who was off to the side and appeared to react with a stunned expression.
How did Ivana Knoll become popular?
While Knoll made her first big mark after winning Miss Croatia in 2016, she rose to social media stardom during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
She often was spotted in the crowd cheering on Croatia and was dubbed the tournament’s “sexiest fan” by many online.
The beauty, who was born in Frankfurt, Germany, before moving to Zagreb, was also spotted attending matches featuring Croatia at the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.
She has since grown her social media presence and boasts more than 3 million followers on Instagram.
