Even so, it seems Ivana Knoll hasn’t given up or been afraid. In her latest post, the 26-year-old woman who was once Miss Croatia admits that her clothes don’t hurt people. “And I thought how can my dress or my bikini hurt people? Please explain to me,” she said on Instagram.
Regarding the controversy over her way of watching the 2022 World Cup, Ivana explained that she is unaware of the dress code in Qatar. But she doesn’t even intend to change her appearance to respect the rules of the Islamic country.
“At first I thought that the World Cup is held there, of course they will allow us all the things that all fans feel comfortable with without any restrictions. Then I heard the rules and I was shocked. The dress code prohibits shoulders , knees, stomach and everything and I don’t even have the clothes to cover it all,” said Ivana.
“I’m so angry because I’m not a Muslim and if we in Europe respect hijab and niqab, I think they should respect our way of life, our religion, and in the end I wear clothes, bikinis because I’m Catholic from Croatia here for World Cup,” he added.
Ivana admitted she was surprised but had no problem wearing sexy clothes there. She also said that many people from Qatar came to him and asked to take pictures with him. When asked if Ivana wasn’t afraid of being arrested for her style, she said, “I’ve never been afraid of anything like that.”
