Model and DJ queen Ivana Knoll is one of the most recognisable fans at the World Cup after taking centre-stage during the tournament in Qatar
As Croatia prepare for their second match at the World Cup 2026, few of their famous fans have caught the eye more than Ivana Knoll.
The former Miss Croatia, dubbed the sexiest fan at the World Cup after her eye-catching appearances in 2022, has been in the United States to follow the 2018 finalists. Not only that but she has been playing her first headline tour under her DJ name Knolldoll.
After donning her most daring outfit yet to take in her country’s defeat to England, Knoll headed to Miami and the Eleven nightclub. She was snapped in revealing clothing once again, almost spilling out of her black top.

The 33-year-old shared a slideshow of photos from the night, adding the caption: “My city. My biggest Miami headline show. @11miami, my fam.”
Fans clearly liked what they saw. “Ivana, you are the most beautiful and sexiest DJ on this World Cup,” one reply on Instagram read.
“You are super beautiful! Super wonderful! Super fantastic!” a second fan wrote. There were countless other comments from those who enjoyed the performance.
Next up for Croatia is a match against Panama in Toronto. Zlatko Delic’s team can get their tournament back on track with a win and have a chance to celebrate with a Knolldoll set at rooftop venue Lavelle.
Before the European team played their second match, Knoll spoke exclusively to Daily Star Sport. She admitted the Croatian flag corset she wore for that first game had attracted a lot of questions.
“This is my style, so I guess people already know me and know I always have my own style,” she said. “The reaction was awesome!
“It was pretty intense [in the stadium], but everything was so positive. So I guess I killed it with that outfit. It took me a while. I was up until about 3am the night before the game finishing it!”
She also promised more daring outfits later in the tournament, adding: “[There were] many photos. You know how it goes. This is my fourth World Cup, so I’m very well known around all these events.
“People come for photos. I do photos with photographers on the field, pose for them, and then enjoy the game. It’s kind of routine for me now!”
