As the World Cup in Qatar reaches the quarter-finals, there is plenty to look out for.
However, not all eyes are on the football despite Gareth Southgate's England having a great chance of bringing football home. In recent years fans have attracted as much attention as the players, from the wacky outfits to the stunning supporters.
FIFA had tried to crack down on camera shots of 'hot female fans' at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. But it didn't stop some being found, and Daily Star Sport is looking at what happened next for the 'World Cup's most attractive fans'.

Natalya Nemchinova
Natalya Nemchinova stole the show during the opening match of the 2018 World Cup at Luzhniki Stadium in Russia.
Fans gushed over the Russians beauty when she was spotted in the crowd by photographers wearing a Russian shirt and crowd while waving the country's flag. However, it then emerged that the stunning blonde was allegedly a porn star when x-rated images were discovered.
Nemchinova has denied the claims, but she still supports the national side while working as a model.
Nissu Cauti
Nissu Cauti has earned the nickname the 'girlfriend' of the Peruvian national team.
Cauti had earned some fame in her homeland during the Copa America. But she earned intentional attention when she was removing her shirt – leaving her in a red and white bra – when Peru found the net.
She still follows around the national side – and she regularly posts updates on her Instagram posing in the famous red and white shirt.
Maria Liman
Like Nemchinova, Maria Liman shot to fame during her home World Cup when she was spotted cheering on the Russian side.
Liman, who has since moved to the UK, followed her national side around during the tournament – and she delighted fans with sultry snaps following Igor Akinfeev's penalty heroics.
Liman is now just as likely to be spotted at Stamford Bridge as Moscow, and she has started an acting career.
Marta Barczok
Marta Barczok had originally shot to fame during Euro 2016 in France, and cameras were quick to find her again in Russia.
“The World Cup made me super-famous. There are so many articles about me in all kinds of media all over the world," Barczok later said. Barczok was named 'Polish Miss World Cup' and her image was even posted on FIFA's Instagram account.
During the World Cup, Barczok had been working as a journalist, but she soon made the switch to modelling after Russia.
Natalia Betancourt
Colombian beauty Natalia Betancourt shot to fame at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
However, when pop superstar Rihanna tweets a vine of you alongside the caption 'Colombian cutie', it's hard to leave off the list. Betancourt had caught the eye of the pop star when a camera pan showed the Colombian cheering on her national side.
Betancourt is now a social media sensation, and her Instagram boasts over 1.1million followers.
Erjona Sulejmani
Okay, we're cheating a little here. Erjona Sulejmani was named as Europe's hottest fan at Euro 2016 cheering on Switzerland.
Sulejmani is Albanian by birth, but she was in the stands for Switzerland thanks to her husband, former Napoli star Blerim Dzemaili. GQ Italy crowned her as the hottest fan in a photo shoot following the tournament.
Sulejmani still works in the modelling field.
