Ivana Knoll, the lady who went viral for her looks during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, could be up to her usual tricks again.

Ivana first gained global attention when she was spotted at one of Croatia’s group games in Qatar in 2022.

The brunette’s sultry way of dressing and overall cheerful demeanour won fans hearts, particularly the men, and she instantly became an internet sensation.

She made a point of attending several games in during the 2022 World Cup, taking sultry photos and posing with fans along the way.

As a result, her Instagram, which only initially boasted a few hundred thousand followers, blew up to more than three million followers as at March 28.

The 2022 World Cup opened doors for the model, who has been on a roll since the tournament concluded.

Thanks to her new-found global superstardom, the model has now rubbed shoulders with some big names in different industries including American rapper, Drake and actor, Leonardo DiCaprio.

She has also earned entries to swanky events like Formula One Grand Prix, which she attended in Las Vegas last year.

Ivana hints at Euros appearance

16 months after she went viral, Ivana took to social media to strongly hint at making a return to football stadiums, this time at the Euros in Germany.

Through her Instagram stories, the 31-year old shared a saucy photo of herself as she celebrated her nation, Croatia’s recent 4-2 win over Egypt in a friendly.

In the caption, she wrote, "Let’s go for @Euro2024."

Interestingly, the 2022 World Cup was not the first football tournament Ivana had attended.

According to Outkick, the model was in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup, but at the time, she was not very popular on social media.

She attended the 2014 spectacle with her signature Croatia-themed outfits as her nation crashed out of the tournament in the group stage.

Knoll shared another post exuding her excitement that the tournament was starting in two months.

Croatia’s group games

If Knoll makes an appearance at the Euros, she will likely attend Croatia’s first group game, which is against Spain on June 15.

The 2018 World Cup finalists will then face Albania four days later, before concluding their group with a crunch clash against Italy.

Ivana Knoll discusses footballer DMs

Sports Brief also previously reported on Knoll’s comments about football stars DMing her on social media.

In an interview in April 2023, she recalled how a few players tried reaching out to her after she achieved fame.

The model also revealed how some players would allegedly apologise in advance for beating her nation, Croatia.
