Iran
Iran has one of the world's oldest, richest, and most influential heritages. This is quite evident in the art, architecture, painting, and weaving that it is famous for. One of their specialties is calligraphy, which explains why the body paintings on this fan are the most flawless we've seen.
And this fan knows her country's football history, as the number 10 embroidered on her shirt alongside the heart-shaped figure was worn by legendary Iranian striker Ali Daei. Iran's national team qualified for the World Cup six times, including at the 2022 World Cup, but was eliminated in the group stage.
Russia
We still wonder what these fans screamed at their team to bring about the devastating defeat that the Saudi Arabian squad suffered at their hands in the 2018 World Cup, but they are not to be messed with at home. They cheered the Russian team to a near win against Croatia and did not lose spirit when they lost on penalties.
The fans did pretty well for a team from the lowest-ranking side to qualify for the World Cup. Russia upped its ranking to 33rd in the 2022 FIFA rankings from 48th in 2018, although it didn't qualify for that year's World Cup.
Colombia
South Americans have always taken the fan business to whole new levels. Everything about their fans is interesting. From their numbers, songs, and cheers to their national flag colors flying high, it all points toward their extreme passion for football. Colombian fans are another example; we've not found one lacking in any of those qualities.
The Columbian fans' support was evident in their 3–0 victory over Poland's national team and Africa's highest-ranked team, Senegal, in the 2018 World Cup tournament. Although they didn't qualify for the 2022 tournament, this boosted their confidence, moving them up to 17th in the FIFA rankings.
France
France is one of the most beautiful countries and an ideal travel destination for tourists. From idyllic vineyards to stretches of lavender, there's every bit of the country to explore. It is also one of the most fashionable countries, so we're not surprised by this fan's attire to support her country the best way she knows how,
Speaking of the France fans, they are among the most persistent. We have every reason to say so, as the world witnessed them propel their team to their title-winning World Cup run in 2018. Apart from their team's brilliance, they are the other reason their country is highly ranked in football.
Croatia
Croatia is a little-known country when it comes to everything else, but in the football world, it is highly respected. In all six of its appearances in the World Cup, the Croatian national team has always gone into the tournament as underdogs.
At the 2018 World Cup, these fans led their team to victories against Denmark, Belgium, Russia, and England to reach the finals. And in 2022, the same feat was repeated, at least on the fans' part, with former Miss Croatia Ivana Knoll stealing the show as the team went on to beat Brazil to advance to the semis.
Poland
The 2018 World Cup was one of the best in the history of the tournament, and so were the fans, especially the beautiful female ones. An example is this beautiful Polish fan who grabbed everyone's attention and prevented them from focusing on the real action on the pitch.
If any complaint were going to be filed about distractions, she would be the first to be reported. We guess she and her compatriots are one of the reasons their national team has competed in seven FIFA World Cup editions since its first appearance in 1938, winning bronze medals at the tournament in 1974 and 1982.
Japan
Football has got to be one of the most beautiful sports in the world. Apart from bringing people from all walks of life together, it also encourages interaction and sharing of ideas. Japanese football fans showed their class when they volunteered to clean the stadium even after a heartbreaking loss.
If such actions had been required to succeed in the World Cup, their country would have won that year. In place of that, their country's national football team improved its FIFA ranking from 50th in 2018 to 23rd in 2022 when they were eliminated by Croatia during the Round of 16.
Saudi Arabia
National football team players are considered the best in their country. While they are incredibly talented, it takes the support of a special breed of fans to keep them on their toes. Saudi Arabia badly needed that to recover from their 5-nil defeat at the hands of Russia at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and they got it.
In 2018, the Saudi Arabian team placed sixty-ninth in the 2018 FIFA ranking, a position they have since relinquished for a much higher rank of 49. They started the 2022 World Cup in style by beating Argentina, and they hope to continue in the same vein, thanks to their fans.
Poland
The 2018 World Cup was one of the best in the history of the tournament, and so were the fans, especially the beautiful female ones. An example is this beautiful Polish fan who grabbed everyone's attention and prevented them from focusing on the real action on the pitch.
If any complaint were going to be filed about distractions, she would be the first to be reported. We guess she and her compatriots are one of the reasons their national team has competed in seven FIFA World Cup editions since its first appearance in 1938, winning bronze medals at the tournament in 1974 and 1982.
Russia
We still wonder what these fans screamed at their team to bring about the devastating defeat that the Saudi Arabian squad suffered at their hands in the 2018 World Cup, but they are definitely not to be messed with at home. They cheered the Russian team to a near win against Croatia and did not lose spirit when they lost on penalties.
The fans did pretty well for a team from the lowest-ranking side to qualify for the World Cup. And the Russian squad upped its ranking to 33rd in the 2022 FIFA rankings from 48th in 2018—even though they didn't qualify for the World Cup in 2022.
South Korea
Anyone who knows about South Korea knows that taekwondo is their undisputed national sport. They still participate in other sports, such as bullfighting, basketball, and baseball are also gaining popularity in the country. However, according to a 2021 poll of South Korean residents, soccer is the favorite sport, with 25% of the votes.
This explains why soccer fans and supporters outnumber those of other sports in the country and why these two fans and many others were on hand to get their national football team through to the round of 16. That didn't stop them from flaunting their patriotism and beauty too.
Senegal
Senegal is the best footballing country in Africa, no doubt about that. Their national football team fans made Africa proud with their conduct at the 2018 World Cup. Apart from cheering their country to a surprise 2-1 win against Poland, they also borrowed a leaf from Japanese fans. After the match, they celebrated their victory by cleaning up after themselves. This made them recognized, and they earned the respect of the world.
A formidable opponent for any national soccer team, the Senegalese team became the highest-ranking African team at the tournament, placing 18th in the FIFA ranking. They can only get better with the amount of fan support they have.
Portugal
Portugal is a beautiful country, from the scenery to the people, and their football fans apply that beauty everywhere they go. While we thought we'd seen enough beautiful fans, these Portuguese ones may be the wildest of them all. Their appetite for soccer is just beautiful to watch, as they had to drive 4,349 miles from Lisbon to Russia to cheer the Portuguese team!
At the 2018 World Cup, the enthusiastic Portuguese fans cheered their team to victory against Morocco and a draw with their bitter rivals, Spain. Why would they not cheer when they have stars like Cristiano Ronaldo on their team?
Australia
Australia is known for many things, and football is not one of them. However, the Australian national team has always proved its underdog status at the World Cup by thrashing soccer giants and world champions like Uruguay, France, and Argentina. And why would they not, with incredible fans such as this one, cheering them on?
The team's run at the 2018 World Cup may not have been all that desirable, but their super fans kept them going even in the 2022 World Cup when they got to the semi-finals. Their campaigns have been underwhelming, and we can foresee more success with this kind of fan.
Ecuador
Ecuador is a South American country that is named after the equator. It is also known as the country closest to space, and its natural beauty and greenery have become an attraction for many people from around the world.
Apart from being a major destination for a huge number of tourists, it also boasts a formidable national men's football team. Their football fans are also a sight to behold, as we can tell their passion just by looking at this one. In 2022, they became the first and only country to beat the World Cup hosts, Qatar, in the opening match.
Slovakia
Slovakia is among the least-known countries on the list of the most beautiful countries in the world. It is the ideal destination for true lovers of nature, and it seems like football enthusiasts would also have a blast in the country. Though their national men's football team rankings are not the strongest, that doesn't stop the fans from traveling over long distances to watch them play.
We have to say that the patriotism displayed by Slovakian football fans is something that footballing-powerhouse nations can learn from. This one got so caught up in the action that she stayed behind long after the match was finished. Now that's passion!
Brazil
Brazil is by far the largest country in South America. While it may be famous for having four varying time zones, football is also a prominent part of the country's identity, and its football fans, being the great enthusiasts they are, have never let the team down.
These are just among the numerous Brazil fans who flock to stadiums whenever their national team is playing, especially at the FIFA World Cup. And while they have an incredibly talented team, their fans' unwavering support and relentless passion are what keep them going. And we have to admit they are gorgeous, too.
U.S.A.
The argument between soccer and football for the world's most famous sport is a never-ending debate, especially if an American fan is involved. Whatever they may call it, we have to admit that they are enthusiastic about the sport.
The fans' support was evident at the 2018 World Cup, when they bought the highest number of tickets, even more than the hosts, Russia. The National Men's Football Team of the U.S. was placed 16th in the FIFA men's ranking as of 2022. This was after its exploits at the World Cup hosted by Qatar, where they reached the Round of 16.
Costa Rica
If you did a quick research on the hottest fans at the World Cup, you'd find a picture of this woman. Cheering for Costa Rica, this woman caught the eye of many in the stands. When you're cheering for the most successful national soccer team from the region of Central America, it's essential to show up and show out.
The team is the only national team in Central America to have played in five FIFA World Cup editions. They had their best performance in 2014 after finishing first in their group of three former World Cup champions: Uruguay, Italy, and England.
Switzerland
When we think of Switzerland, the first thing that comes into our minds is the chocolate, cheese, and best skiing tracks in the world. It is also a country of the wealthy, as it leads the world in wealth per person, but that doesn't stop the citizens from cheering on their football teams.
The Swiss national football team, or the Rossocrociati, as they are popularly known, has proven itself in numerous world cup editions and is ranked 15th in the world by FIFA. This is due to the country's investment in football and the efforts of fans such as these, who never miss their county's matches.
Argentina
Argentina is famous for many things, including its love for football. It's no wonder it has one of the best national football teams in the world, which has previously won two World Cups and finished third three times. They have had some great players over the years, with Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona being honorable mentions.
While the players give it all on the pitch, Argentinian fans definitely do the same in the stands. With such a strong team, there is always plenty of exciting football and goals for the fans to cheer for. No wonder they arrive at all World Cups in such an emphatic style.
Belgium
Football is a widely loved sport due to the probability of anything happening at any time on the pitch. We have seen teams come from behind to win matches comfortably or score late-winning goals that leave their opponent dumbfounded. That's the beauty of football, and equally beautiful Belgian fans, like this one, know how to cheer it on.
These fans have everything to cheer for, considering their team contains a wealth of experienced players and highly talented young ones. It's no wonder the team is ranked second in the world by FIFA, and they will be looking forward to making their mark in future competitions.
Paraguay
Paraguay is a small country in South America. It is sandwiched between Argentina, Brazil, and Bolivia, hence why we know so little about it. It also has a more homogeneous population than other countries, comprising citizens with American and Guaraní ancestry. We have to say they must be among the best football fans in the world.
Paraguayan fans, like this lady wearing her national flag colors, have everything to cheer for. Their national men's football team has appeared at the World Cup nine times, with the last being in 2010 when they reached the quarter-finals. With this incredible support, they surely hope to make a strong comeback.
Denmark
In international and club football, we can strongly agree that any underdog team that holds against a much stronger opponent must have two crucial attributes: players who give their all on the pitch and fans who do the same in the stands. We guess we understand why the Danish national men's football team has enjoyed such success in recent years.
With beautiful fans like these ones cheering them on, the skilled team has every reason to win every match that comes their way. The team has competed in the World Cup six times so far, and they will be hoping to go deeper into the tournament in the future.
Mexico
Mexico is a tropical treasure trove, considering the alluring culture, brimming cities, and ancient ruins that it boasts. However, anyone who knows the country's history can agree that it has one of the most successful men's football teams, which has enjoyed considerable success in the World Cup. Why not when they have such passionate fans cheering them on?
The team is among the only five national teams to appear in the World Cup more than 17 out of 22 times. The fans are always behind their team; no wonder it has achieved so much, and it's just amazing to watch the natural beauties like this one supporting it.
Germany
Germany is known for many things, and their national men's football team is one of their national prides. The team has qualified for the World Cup 20 times, with only Brazil managing more appearances. They have also won the tournament four times, so it's no surprise the fans know of their team's potential and always cheer them on when they play.
German fans have always been incredible, and in 2010, this one caught the eye with her beauty, incredible paintwork, and patriotic hair dye colors. We guess the German team has no excuse for not performing when they have this kind of fan.
England
Modern football is believed to have originated in Britain in the 19th century. While it has evolved tremendously over the years, England has remained one of the best football countries in the world, especially when it comes to club football. The team boasts a plethora of talent, a unique blend of experienced and rising stars, and beautiful fans.
While the English team has been one of the best in recent years, they have always been unlucky since winning the World Cup in 1966. However, the fans keep believing, hence why these ones look all charming and glamorous in their country's national colors.
South Africa
South Africa is one of the richest and most developed countries on its continent. This is the main reason why it was chosen to be the first and only African country to host the World Cup tournament in 2010. Besides that, they also had a formidable national team with all the potential to reach greater heights.
The Bafana Bafana, as their national men's football team is nicknamed, has made three appearances at the World Cup. However, the team has always intrigued its fans with a stylish brand of football, and their fans, like this one, have never let them down.
Egypt
Egypt is one of the countries with the richest histories in Africa and the world. The pyramids of Giza attract millions of tourists every year. Another thing they are known for is their nationwide passion for football. They have appeared in the World Cup three times, showing their prowess.
The national team fans also have to be the most passionate, and they overdo it sometimes, which resulted in FIFA banning them from all stadiums in Egypt for six years. Though they didn't qualify for the 2022 World Cup, they will be hoping to strengthen their team, and the fans will bounce back stronger.
Serbia
Serbia is internationally famous for its natural and man-made wonders, which include the Gradac river and the Tara National Park. One thing they have become known for in recent years is their love for football, and the fans have shown it as much as the players have.
The country's friendly and hospitable nature is reflected in how they have a united fan base that has backed the team in all of their four appearances at the World Cup. With the team going from strength to strength, we have no doubt that fans such as the ones pictured above will continue their patriotic exploits.
Netherlands
One thing that stands out of all the things we probably know about the Dutch is their love for the color orange. This hue has served as the national color for years and has been reflected in their football passion. The national team wears unique orange jerseys, and so do the legions of fans who never fail to show up to support their team.
That explains why this fan is clad in orange to support her team from the stands. She stands out, though we have seen some Dutch fans dye their hair orange while attending matches. We also can't help but wonder why she has a QR code on her vest!
Italy
Whenever we mention pizza or pasta, the first place we think of is Italy. However, apart from the country's rich artistic culture and mouth-watering cuisines, it is also famous for its passion for football. It boasts of probably the most successful Tifosi fans, who have supported the national men's football team for decades.
The fans have cheered their team to four World Cup titles, two European Championships, and probably more second and third-place finishes than any other team have managed. Looking at this woman, who has passionately painted her body with the national flag colors, we see why the team has performed so well over the years.
Chile
Chile has competed in nine World Cups over the years. Their most memorable run had to be at the 1962 World Cup, when the entire world was rooting for them to lift the trophy after magnificent performances on the group stage. While they got eliminated in the semi-finals, their run was only made possible by the support of their fans.
Over the years, the performances have improved, and so has the fan support. This beautiful Chilean fan going all out to support her team just shows us how passionate the fans are. Though they didn't qualify for the 2022 World Cup, they will be looking forward to bouncing back stronger.
Ghana
African countries first appeared in the World Cup finals in 1934. However, the next appearance from an African country came more than three decades later. Since then, one of the countries that have gone from strength to strength includes Ghana, which is among the highest-ranked countries by FIFA in Africa.
With a thriving economy, the Ghanaian government has invested substantially in football. The citizens have not let their national team down, as they are one of the most vibrant fan bases at the World Cup and have propelled their team to famous wins against the best footballing teams in the world.
Uruguay
Uruguay is the second-smallest country in South America. However, that has not stopped it from being special, especially when it comes to beef production, beautiful beaches, and brilliant soccer playing. Over the years, it has produced some famous football players, including Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani.
The success of the Uruguayan national men's football team in recent years is widely attributed to their style of play and vibrant fans. As we can tell from these beautiful women, Uruguayan fans never fail to throw their love and passion for the sport behind the team whenever they play at the World Cup.
Algeria
Algeria is a stunningly beautiful country in every way. Besides being the largest country in Africa, it is known for its traditional hospitality, favorable Mediterranean climate, and the Sahara desert. Like most countries around the world, it has invested massively in football so the citizens have a national team to cheer for.
These fans seem content supporting their team at the World Cup; no wonder it is so successful in international competitions. Thanks to them, the team won the Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA Arab World Cup in 2021. With this kind of support, we can foresee more success in future major tournaments.
