The 2026 FIFA World Cup is drawing closer, and fans are curious if Croatian superfan Ivana Nord will make an appearance in any of the 16 host cities across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, beginning Thursday.
This 5ft 11in model first gained fame as the ‘Sexiest Fan’ thanks to her eye-catching outfits during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. She quickly became a popular figure in the stands, where fans eagerly lined up for photos with her, though some found her outfit choices questionable given Qatar’s strict dress codes.
Nord has since shared glimpses of her life—attending glamorous parties and rubbing elbows with celebrities like Shaquille O’Neal, Drake, and Naomi Campbell along the way.
She later ventured into the music scene, adopting the DJ persona KNOLLDOLL and launching her own record label.
This internet star, boasting 2.9 million Instagram followers, plans to participate in this year’s World Cup, with at least one stop in Los Angeles confirmed.
Soon, she will headline the FIFA Fan Festival at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Saturday. This festival signifies the conclusion of her first U.S. tour, which kicked off on June 6 in Houston and wraps up in Atlantic City on August 28.
In April, Nord introduced her record label, Noordor, and followed up in May with the release of her single “We Are the People,” which she has called her “World Cup anthem.” The track quickly became a hit, gaining traction through shows in Miami, Houston, Toronto, and Philadelphia.
A few months back, Nord took the stage at LIV Nightclub during the F1 Miami Grand Prix weekend. During that time, she made an appearance on Sky Sports, where cameras caught her walking past the analysts at the Miami International Autodrome.
Nord even humorously shared the moment on Instagram, captioning it, “Oops… I did it again,” complete with a crying-laughing emoji.
