Croatian model and football enthusiast Ivana Knoll shared the video across her social networks. The clip shows the model lying face down, drawing attention with a bold display.
The model rose to global fame thanks to her striking outfits during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. She supported her team by wearing ensembles that featured the national colors, sometimes in styles that attracted widespread chatter. In one instance, she was seen in a swimsuit while strolling through a city in Qatar. Her public appearances, though, sparked conversations about local sensitivities and the reactions of residents to the Croatian national team’s bold color symbolism.
As Knoll later admitted, she received numerous marriage proposals and a flood of messages of a flirtatious or intimate nature from several World Cup players who were in Qatar for the tournament. The attention underscored how a high-profile supporter can become a focal point for media and fans alike.
In the tournament itself, the Croatian national team secured a third-place finish by defeating Morocco 2-1. Goals from Josko Gvardiol and Mislav Orsic helped cement that podium finish. In the final, Argentina edged France in a penalty shootout to claim the title after a dramatic 3-3 draw in regular time.
Earlier in the year, a Russian figure skater had also attracted headlines for wearing a red bikini in public appearances, highlighting how athletes from different sports sometimes become focal points for fashion and media coverage beyond their primary disciplines.
