World Cup fans demanded to know the identity of a scorching hot football fan during Switzerland’s clash with Colombia in the last 16
World Cup fans were left scrambling for the identity of a mystery woman after the lady in red stole the show during Switzerland’s win over Colombia in the Round of 16.
It was a snoozefest at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada, as the two sides failed to find the back of the net across 120 minutes – leading to the European side winning on spot-kicks in a penalty shootout on Tuesday evening.
However, when camera operators picked out a stunning Swiss fan in the crowd, many at home suddenly sat up and took notice. And some went even further, taking to social media to demand the identity of the unknown beauty captivating audiences with her aura.

“Who is that Swiss fan. OMG,” one fan shared on X. While a second said: “That Swiss fan with the amazing hair… oh my god she was stunning!”
“When I saw her, I started rooting for Switzerland, to be honest,” a third joked. And another added: “How much is the Swiss flight price??”
However, her identity was soon revealed, when one fan responded: “‘A Switzerland fan’ then it’s the sister of one of Switzerland’s best players but oh well…”
The stunner in question is Eva Ndoye – who was in Canada supporting her brother Dan Ndoye, the 25-year-old winger who turns out for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
Eva shared some snaps from the game on her TikTok account – showing off her now iconic hair and gorgeous looks while wearing her brother’s shirt. One post, from their clash with Bosnia, has more than 15,000 likes as fans joked in the comments they saw her on TV.
Another post showed her “warming up for the quarter-finals” as fans flocked to the comments: “I think I saw you on the telly,” and, “I saw you on TV and loved your curls!”
Eva confirmed it was her, sharing a clip of the moment on her Instagram story.
Ndoye’s strong performance for Switzerland was praised as they reached their first quarter-finals in a World Cup since 1954.
Swiss media hailed the Forest ace who “got stronger as the game went on”. He has had an excellent World Cup to date, starting in four out of five games, and netted in the 2-0 victory against Algeria last week.
Football fans will be able to catch a glimpse of Eva again over the weekend – as she will hope to be her nations lucky charm against Argentina.
