A Croatian Instagram model dubbed the 2022 FIFA World Cup’s sexiest fan has taken her patriotism to risky new levels, parading around Qatar in a G-string swimsuit in clear violation of local customs.
Former Miss Croatia Ivana Knoll turned plenty of heads in her country’s first football match of the World Cup.
As she headed to the Al-Bayat stadium for the game against Morocco, the Croatian beauty wore a plunging red and white checkerboard dress to show off her patriotism.
Knoll has now doubled down with a racy video of her parading along a waterway in Qatar wearing even less on Instagram, with the caption: ‘watch me tomorrow 17h [German tabloid television show] Taff show on @prosieben’.
Her latest post is flirting with more than just football fans, the Croatian now faces the very real prospect of being sent to prison by unhappy Qatarian officials.
‘Visitors (men as well as women) are expected to show respect for local culture by avoiding excessively revealing clothing in public,’ the Qatar tourism authority warned before the World Cup.
‘It is generally recommended for men and women to ensure their shoulders and knees are covered,’
Several of Knoll’s posts on Wednesday, even tagged FIFA – which has reiterated Qatar’s strict rules regarding clothing
While Knoll’s first outfit revealed her sizeable assets, it at least covered the majority of her body including a hood.
The latest swimsuit model from her wardrobe of patriotism skates much closer to the modesty lines Qatar officials outlined prior to the World Cup commencing.
‘Allo police Qatar,’ one fan posted on her video.
‘Respect the country and our religion wtf?’ asked another.
‘Shame on you respect others culture,’ posted another.
‘Where is the Qatari about you?’ asked another with two crying face emojis.
There are high fines and even jail sentences for fans who flash their figures in Qatar. Non-Qatari women do not have to wear the abaya, but their tops and dresses must cover their midriffs and shoulders.
In addition, women traveling to the Arab nation are prohibited from wearing tight clothing or flashing their cleavage. WAGs were advised to cover their busts with a scarf around their necks.
