Qatari fans were taking photos of Miss Croatia Ivana Knoll at the World Cup because they DISAPPORVED of her outfit – Local claims

Grinning Qatari fans were taking of photos of Miss Croatia Ivana Knoll at the World Cup because they disapproved of her outfit, a high-profile local has claimed.

TSB News reports that during Croatia’s opening match with Morocco the model, labelled the World Cup‘s sexiest fan, appeared in a red and white bikini top and tight red leggings – catching the eye of many within the crowd.

A photo posted after the match showed smiling men in the stadium taking pictures of the 30-year-old model.

 

Taking to Twitter last night he wrote in response to the picture: ‘Just for your info they take a photo not because they like her but because they don’t like the way she is mis-dressed on regards to our culture.

‘You can confirm this with any local Qatari Probably to report it.’

Those visiting Qatar for the World Cup have been advised to cover their shoulders and avoid short skirts, with high fines and even jail sentences for fans who decide to flash their figures.

People on Twitter, however, were not convinced with Mr Al-Jefairi’s defence of the men caught on camera.

One wrote: ‘No offence meant, sir, but your justification is funny. Their facial expressions, body language and how they hold the phone all give away their  intentions rather clearly.

‘You’ve got to admit that Qatari men are no infallible, saying this as a Qatari by the way.’

Knoll had shared the image on her Instagram to celebrate gaining one million and her fans were quick to point out the men’s actions in the photos.

One wrote: ‘That’s it, the guy is caught. The wife is waiting at home with a hammer!’

Another added: ‘Full support for Croatia’.

While on the whole most were complimentary about her post, some pointed out the outfit did not fit with Qatar’s customers and broke the country’s strict rules on clothing for the World Cup.
