Ivana Knoll has made her allegiances clear ahead of England’s World Cup quarter-final against Norway in an eye-popping bikini.
The Croatian beauty, who has been dubbed ‘the World Cup’s sexiest fan’, since she made headlines with her jaw-dropping looks and outfit in the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. Ivana had been in America this year to cheer on her beloved homeland, but Luka Modric and co met a heartbreaking end to his international career.
Croatia were beaten 2-1 by Portugal in the round of 32, bringing an end to their hopes of enjoying another deep run in a World Cup, and also leaving Ivana needing to find another team to support.

And she has now made clear where her support lies in Saturday’s final eight clash as she wore a red bikini top with a Norwegian flag.
Ivana posed in the mirror with her adopted colours on while still representing her homeland with a red and white chequered arm sleeve and jean shorts pockets.
Alongside the video, she added the caption: “game day, quarterfinal in my city! on my way to support Norway today. Let’s go!”
The former Miss Croatia has since arrived at the stadium in Miami and has found the camera pitchside to pose and show off her outfit before kick-off.
Ivana pivoted her support in the World Cup to Norway and announced her decision to her 3million followers while doing a rowing-esque gym exercise, matching the viral celebration Norway fans have been doing in the stands.
She said: “Croatia is out… so I’m training my Norwegian celebration for Saturday and the rest of the World Cup.”
England take on Norway with the reward of a semi-final against Argentina or Switzerland up for grabs.
Thomas Tuchel has shifted Ezri Konsa to right-back and brought Noni Madueke in on the right for Bukayo Saka, while three Manchester City defenders in Marc Guehi, John Stones and Nico O’Reilly make up the rest of the back four looking to keep their club team-mate Erling Haaland quiet.
