Former Miss Croatia Ivana Knolls has left tongues wagging all over the world following her bold manner in which she’s showing support for her national team in Qatar.
Her common trademark skimpy chequered crop top and mini skirt, and other scanty dresses, have left football fans in Qatar and all over the world admiring her adorned figure and vibrant skin.
The 30-year-old model and designer, who has christened herself World Cup 2022 fan number one, has also gone viral for allegedly promising football fans a complete view of her cleavage if Croatia wins the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Ms. Knoll even broke Qatari customs by going round Doha in a G-string, raising the concern on her revealing attitude.
In one of her recent viral Instagram posts to celebrate hitting one million followers, Knoll included a photo of several men stealing a glance at her in a red and white checked bikini top and tight red leggings.
Qatar has enforced strict rules around clothing for the World Cup, and many are waiting to see if the babe will get arrested for choosing to be notorious in a country that shuns most of the Western way of doing things.
In Qatar, visitors have been advised to cover their shoulders and avoid short skirts to avoid high fines and even jail sentences for fans who flaunt their cleavages.
Responding to the advice that she risks friction with Qatari authorities, Ivana said: “First I was thinking if the World Cup is happening there (Qatar), for sure they will allow us everything to make it comfortable for all fans without any of the restrictions.
“Then I heard about the rules and I was shocked. The dress code forbids showing shoulders, knees, belly and everything and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I don’t even have the clothes to cover all of that.'”
“I was super angry because if I’m not a Muslim and if we in Europe respect hijab and niqab, I think they need also to respect our way of life, our religion and in the end me wearing dresses, bikinis because I’m Catholic from Croatia who is here because of the World Cup.”
Knoll said she is not afraid of the consequences of being arrested and fined or jailed. ‘I am never afraid of something like that.’
The Croatian model is now the talk in every town in the World and has gained plenty of admirers since her country’s first match in Qatar.
Croatia is set to play Argentina in the World Cup 2022 semi-finals on Tuesday.
