The Croatian national team has a devoted following, and Ivanna Knoll, a model known for her support of Croatia, recently shared new images with her Instagram audience. The post touched on ongoing debates surrounding the platform’s parent company, which has faced restrictions in some markets including Russia, adding a layer of context to the update.
In the photos, Knoll appears in a notably small swimsuit, capturing a bold, sunlit moment that drew attention from fans and media alike.
Knoll rose to prominence after attending Croatian national team matches at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where her presence at the games helped propel her into the social spotlight. The moment sparked widespread discussion and increased visibility across platforms.
As a result of the attention, Knoll’s Instagram following surpassed three million, and she reportedly received invitations to participate in advertising campaigns and shoots, signaling a shift toward broader professional opportunities.
The Croatian team’s performance at the 2022 World Cup echoed past successes, with a bronze medal finishing that mirrored Croatia’s respectable showing at previous major events. Looking back, Croatia’s best World Cup result to date came in 1998 with a bronze, while the 2018 edition in Russia saw the team reach the final before being edged out by France, a landmark moment in Croatian football history.
In European Championship history, Croatia has yet to reach the semi-finals. The team did advance to the quarter-finals in 1996 and again in 2008, marking milestones in the country’s continental competition journey.
Earlier reports highlighted a Russian figure skater who also showcased her figure in a swimsuit, illustrating how public appearances in such attire can attract global attention from diverse audiences.
