Croatia model Ivana Knoll turns heads in Qatar with another dazzling outfit for Argentina semi-final

Croatian model Ivana Knoll headed to the World Cup semifinal against Argentina on Tuesday, despite rumors that she would be banned from attending.

Knoll, 30, has caused a stir in Qatar throughout the tournament for wearing bold outfits that conflict with the country’s more conservative approach to women’s clothing.

This led to rumors that she would be banned from the Lusail Stadium for the semi-final clash, something that did not happen as she was photographed in the stands a good hour before the 10pm kick-off in the second largest city. from Qatar.

Model Ivana Knoll arrived at the Lusail Stadium to show her continued support for Croatia.

The 30-year-old influencer posed with fans on the field before the first semifinal.

She wore a tight red checkered top and an oversized hat as she and her fans soaked up the atmosphere ahead of a highly anticipated semi-final.

Knoll, a former runner-up in the 2016 Miss Croatia search, was seen blowing kisses to the crowd and posing with a Mexican fan who had adopted the European country after his own country’s group stage elimination.

Ahead of Croatia’s World Cup quarterfinal against Brazil on Friday, stadium security tried to prevent Knoll from posing for pictures with fans, something they apparently haven’t tried this time.

Knoll caused a stir in previous Croatia games with his daring outfits, much to the despair of the authorities.

Some people in Qatar previously claimed that people were only photographing Knoll because of the way they disapproved of her outfit, rather than seeing her snaps as a sign of adoration for the scantily clad 30-year-old.

Qatar’s customary modesty laws urge women to cover their shoulders, while Knoll’s shoulders are exposed in Lusail.
