As expected, Ivana Knoll has come through again ahead of Croatia’s World Cup semi-final clash with Argentina.
The two nations clash this Tuesday in what’s expected to be a showdown for the ages. But the former Miss Croatia is likely garnering just as much attention and many will be hoping they will get to see her at the next game, with the finals set for this coming Sunday.
Ivana has seen her Instagram following skyrocket during the tournament, thanks to a lineup of some of the raciest outfits a soccer stadium has ever been treated to. Her trolling of Brazil last week was also helpful in that regard.
As noted above, she has treated the soccer world to some more risque content. You could catch some of it right here. That’s why you’re here, after all…
The fact that this is happening in Qatar is a big story too. Arab nations are very particular about women’s clothing and strictly enforce rules that speak to females exposing as little of their bodies as possible.
Before the World Cup started, the country urged visitors to respect its local culture, also advising both men and women to cover their shoulders and knees. Ivana has been a glaring exception, which is why her clothing has been described as “law-breaking” throughout the competition, but she claims she has been given permission to don her skimpy garb.

“The locals confirmed to me that I can wear whatever I want,” she told TMZ at the end of November. “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.”
Update: Croatia has been knocked out of the World Cup, losing 3-0 to Argentina. We probably won’t be seeing Ivana in Sunday’s final but she just might turn up to the 3rd Place match on Saturday.
