Croatian Instagram model Ivana Knoll risks breaking Qatar decency laws & causing huge offence for wearing racy World Cup outfits

Croatia fan and Instagram model Ivana Knoll risks being hit with a fine and even jail time due to her revealing outfits worn in Qatar. 

​Knoll stepped out in revealing dressOutfit appears to break Qatar’s decency lawsCould be hit with fine or jail time

WHAT HAPPENED? Knoll, who has previously held the crown of Miss Croatia, stepped out in the Al-Bayat stadium for her nation’s first group match against Morocco wearing a figure-hugging dress. The revealing outfit goes against Qatar’s strict decency laws, which stipulate that women must not expose their midriff, shoulders, knees or bust.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: While non-Qatari women aren’t expected to wear the local abaya – the culture’s long, black robe – Knoll’s attire would seemingly be scrutinised for its tight fit and revealing neckline. As a result, the 30-year-old model could be hit with a substantial fine, with fans already being warned of a £2,400 penalty for littering alone. Some areas in the country have stricter rules than others, meaning Knoll could even face jail time for breaking these decency laws.

WHAT THEY SAID: While Knoll herself has been critical of this winter’s tournament – branding it a “disaster” and having “the worst organisation in history” – the model herself has come under fire for her cultural insensitivity. On her social media post, one user wrote: “You are in Qatar not in Croatia, you have to respect the rules, it is a Muslim country”, while another labelled it “disrespectful to the Qatari culture”.

WHAT NEXT FOR CROATIA? After playing out an uneventful 0-0 draw against Morocco in their Group F opener, Croatia take on Canada in their second match on Sunday.
