Croatia returned from the brink to reach the nation's third World Cup semi-final on Friday as they stunned favourites Brazil 4-2 on penalties.

Instagram model Ivana Knoll has appeared at every Croatian game at the FIFA World Cup to support her country, always in hot outfits, thwarting Qatar's modesty laws.

The model, labelled the World Cup's sexiest fan, was spotted in a red and white bikini top and tight red leggings, turning heads across the crowd in the ultra-conservative Muslim country, where moderate dress is the standard.

Ivana gained instance notice after wearing Croatian colours at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Despite the strict laws on decency in the country, some Qatari fans took pictures of the 30-year-old model.

Ivana says men, women and children ask her for selfies at games.
