Croatia's 'Sexy World Cup Fan' Ivona Nol Embraces Fame but Avoids Romance

Ivona Nol, former Miss Croatia and widely known as the "sexy fan" of the World Cup, continues to attract attention at the 2026 tournament in North America. Nol, who rose to international fame during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, has become a familiar figure in the stands supporting Croatia, describing the attention as part of her routine after attending four World Cups. "This is my fourth World Cup, so I’m very well known at these events," she told the Daily Star. "People come to take photos, and I enjoy modeling for photographers before watching the game."

Her popularity has surged in recent years, with millions following her on social media where she shares her travels, DJ career, and appearances at Croatian matches. When asked about the nickname "sexy fan," Nol said, "It’s an honor. There’s nothing better than being sexy and looking good." Despite the global attention, Nol clarified she is currently single and not seeking a relationship. "I’m single and I like it, so even if people ask, I haven’t heard them," she laughed. "I’m at a stage where I’m not interested in anyone."

In 2024, Nol revealed she ended a decade-long relationship and has since focused on her music career. "It didn’t come out of nowhere. I’ve been working nonstop every day for three years, so I guess the work is paying off," she said. "This is the first time in my life I’m doing something I truly want and love, besides football and supporting Croatia."
