Ivana Knoll, the Croatian influencer dubbed the 'Knoll Doll,' posted a sizzling poolside photo in a tiny black bikini after Croatia's 4-2 loss to England in the 2026 World Cup. The 33-year-old, who boasts three million Instagram followers, flew back to her Miami base to nurse her heartbreak following the defeat.
Rise to Fame
Knoll originally shot to global stardom during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where her eye-catching, Croatia-themed outfits in the stadium stands earned her the unofficial title of the tournament's 'sexiest fan.' Since then, she has turned her viral moments into a full-blown empire, balancing modelling, music, and football.
Post-Match Reaction
After Croatia's loss, Knoll took to social media to flaunt her curves in a skimpy black bikini, leaving little to the imagination. Fans rushed to the comments section to shower the model with compliments. 'Unreal,' one wrote, while another added, 'You make losing look good.'
Pre-Match DJ Set
Before the high-stakes clash against England, Knoll made sure to get the party started by spinning tracks during a pre-match DJ set, wearing a trademark Croatia-inspired bikini top. Since her breakout in Qatar, she has launched a career behind the decks, performing gigs across America.
Looking Ahead
While the recent loss stung, Knoll and her fellow supporters are hoping Croatia can replicate the form that saw them reach the World Cup final in 2018. 'We'll bounce back,' she said in a recent interview. 'Croatia always fights.'
