World Cup Superstar Ivana Knoll Strips Down & Puts It Out There That She's Coming For The Euro 2024 Spotlight

Croatian model Ivana Knoll is back. And the World Cup superstar is letting it be known that she has her eye on the next soccer tournament she plans to steal the spotlight from.

The UEFA Euro 2024 is a couple of months away, but the now 31-year-old is already preparing for a repeat performance of her World Cup run.

She shared a couple of teasers on her Instagram Story, one with a reminder of how she stole the spotlight and another counting down to the Euro 2024 tournament.

Knoll then stripped down to drive the point home. She swung for the fences by reminding her more than 3 million followers that her "sparkle has no expiration date."

I hinted at it with the "swung for the fences" reference, but it should be addressed.  If you're like me, you're probably wondering how, on Major League Baseball's Opening Day, is a soccer influencer making headlines?

Well, for starters, Knoll put in the work and is getting out ahead of herself by giving everyone plenty of time to prepare for her next run. But on top of that, much like the MLB dropping the ball with one televised game on Opening Day, the Instagram models are dropping the ball too.

Ivana Knoll Is Preparing For Another Dominant Tournament

I went around the horn, if you will, on Instagram and came away with very little. I checked in with huge baseball fan and Instagram model Katie Williams and nothing.  We're talking crickets for the past week.

There might be a brand deal here and there, but nothing to properly welcome the baseball season. Kate Upton can't even be counted on these days. 

That's how you fall behind as a sport. You want to attract fans to your game?  Sponsoring a scoreboard or breakdown of the two teams prior to the first pitch with a TikTok logo isn't going to cut it.

Ivana Knoll can't be blamed for taking advantage of the opportunity when it presents itself. This isn't her fault or the fault of the sport of soccer. While baseball struggles, let the countdown to her next dominant soccer tournament performance begin.
