Costa Rica

Costa Rica isn't a big name during the World Cup competition, but this woman seems so glad to be cheering for her home country. We're not that surprised; the Happy Planet Index noted that the Central American nation is the happiest in the world. A factor would be the government's allotment of army funds to education and healthcare.

If this was taken in 2014, this woman's cheers weren't a waste because Costa Rica won against England! In fairness to the tropical land, English players have been playing in the World Cup at least five times already, so there's no doubt that the nation is a force to reckon with.

Paraguay

The World Cup is such a massive sports moment that the biggest names in the countries attend it. Here we have Larissa Riquelme, one of the highest-paid models in the nation, doing a quick wacky pose for the paparazzi. Whether this was just a coincidence or not, the heart may symbolize "Corazón de América," the South American land's nickname.

Paraguay is called such because it is at the heart of the landmass, flanked by Brazil, Bolivia, and Argentina. On top of having beautiful citizens, the country also boasts of having two different designs on the sides of its flag. 

South Korea

Taekwondo is a much-beloved sport in South Korea; in fact, it is its national sport! However, it is not the most popular because the crown goes to soccer, at least according to a 2021 survey. So it is not surprising that many citizens would travel and flock to the World Cup tournament whenever the country makes it.

The players were probably mesmerized by these beautiful women who had impeccable skin! After all, South Korea is known for its skincare products as well as routines that are believed to be the reasons for the flawless complexion. In 2020, it is ranked third as the largest exporter of beauty products in the world. 

Argentina

Mighty Argentina is often watched carefully during the World Cup after winning the competition twice, in 1978 and 1986. As such, this woman has all the reasons to smile when attending the tournament and witnessing some of the country's greatest players, most notably Lionel Messi.

In 2022, for instance, Messi led the Argentinian national team to win the trophy in the competition held in Qatar. Despite the victory, the athlete said he doesn't plan to retire soon because he still wants to play like a champion. Plus, the athlete came too close to beating Brazil in the 2014 World Cup match. 

Brazil

Speaking of Brazil, it is considered one of the beasts in the World Cup tournament. This is why many fans spend so much on travel expenses just to witness their players dominate the competition. The fans from this nation are considered one of the most ardent supporters of the sport.

While many players are remarkable, one almost always makes the news for the wrong reasons: Neymar. The athlete is known for his antics on the field, but nobody laughs at his dramatic display when playing. In 2022, Brazil failed to snatch the trophy anew, shocking its players, who also lost in 2014 and 2018.

Chile

Chile was one of the first countries to have participated in the inaugural World Cup in 1930. Unfortunately, the nation's efforts weren't enough to land them a victory, and the trophy has been elusive to them. Still, the citizens almost won big when they placed third during the 1962 competition on their home soil.

Still, ardent supporters like this woman couldn't help but root for the nation's players whenever Chile, which boasts the biggest swimming pool in the world, qualifies for the prestigious match. Unfortunately, the country wasn't able to compete in the World Cup 2022 in Qatar after FIFA denied its request to replace Ecuador.

Belgium

Even with the face paint on, this woman's beauty shines through! This may be enough to distract the cameras during the competition, but, of course, the eyes are on the players. Belgium has been joining the competitions since 1930 but has not been able to bag the trophy yet.

In 2022, Belgium again failed to win the coveted trophy after its goalless draw with Croatia. It was ranked second place, thereby disappointing Red Devils fans who expected the team to at least make it to the higher match. Yannick Carrasco and Romelu Lukaku also missed goals that would have given the country a chance to advance to the next round.

Russia

We don't have any qualms that this woman is dubbed the face of the World Cup 2018 because anyone with eyes can see how she seems to be a goddess here on earth. From the benches, this girl named Natalya Nemchinova captured the photographers' attention, so much so that many fans from around the world scrambled to find facts about this Russian supporter.

Well, their searches led to unsavory rumors about her, with some going as far as claiming that she had previously worked in the adult film industry. However, Nemchinova only worked for Playboy magazine, so some may be familiar with her face.

Iran

This woman clearly went all out in doing her face paint to show her support for her home country in the World Cup. This may not be striking to some, but it is very meaningful because, since the 1980s, the Iranian government has been keen on disallowing women from watching sports matches.

In 2018, activist Maryam Shojaei went to Russia to watch Iran's game against Spain, but the police confiscated the banner she was supposed to use during the match. Then the following year, a woman violated the rule and served jail time, so as a result, she lit herself on fire, causing an outrage in the country.

Colombia

Everything seems happy and loud in Colombia, and this lady's smile and enthusiasm seem highly contagious! As a proud cheerleader for her country, the woman brought the national flag that features yellow, blue, and red, which signify honor, loyalty, and independence.

Unfortunately, the nation failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and its star player James Rodriguez couldn't help but feel heartbroken for the loss and for his teammates who would have shone brightly. This was clearly a painful moment for the country, which delivered a promising play in 2018. And four years before this, the nation reached the quarter-finals. 

Senegal

If our readers feel that this woman is beautiful enough to join pageants, they are not mistaken. Simona Guatieri has been seen in Miss Italy, Miss Universe, and Miss World competitions, but what was she doing in the 2018 World Cup? Expressing her support for her boyfriend, Senegal's Keita Balde, of course!

Perhaps, Guatieri was so happy that Senegal made it to the 2018 World Cup quarterfinals. And while the African nation didn't win, her and Balde's relationship remains strong to this day. The national team may have also failed to reach the 2022 tournament, but at least they have each other to lean on. 

Japan

Considered one of the most advanced nations in the world, Japan is truly a game-changer in technological creation. Still, its residents are often known for their hospitality, responsibility, and kindness, which are always on full display whenever and wherever they go.

This woman represents how beautiful the Japanese people are, not just physically. While they do not always win sports matches, they are mostly hailed for their attitude following the games. They have been spotted cleaning the benches and stadiums after the tournament while players expressed their respect by bowing, which has long been a part of their rich tradition. 

Ghana

There are a lot of impressive things about Ghana: one, it has a robust economy that relies on cocoa, oil, and gold, and two, its capital city of Accra is one of the richest cities in the world. It will soon be known for having an improved soccer team because, since its first qualifier in 2006, the players have mastered the sport.

According to Changing Worlds, Ghana also means "warrior king" in the Mande language, so we can say that the players are all warriors. These women obviously didn't come to the event to play nice because they even wore their national flag!

Saudi Arabia

When we talk about Saudi Arabia, we automatically think about petroleum and riches. Because of its wealth, we don't wonder why the Middle Eastern country hopes to host the 2030 World Cup. In 2022, it tapped Cristiano Ronaldo as its ambassador following the star player's shocking exit from Manchester United.

According to the Daily Mail, the Portuguese athlete will pocket at least $175 million per year in the contract. However, on top of this lucrative deal, Ronaldo will have to work with his long-time rival Lionel Messi for the campaign. Perhaps, this woman's smile will be once she sees these stars in her home country. 

Serbia

Best known for being the birthplace of a staggering 17 emperors, including Constantine the Great, Serbia is also famous for being the home country of the most notable scientists such as Mihajlo Pupin, Nikola Tesla, Vuk Stefanović Karadžić, and Milutin Milanković.

On top of that, World Cup supporters tend to go all out when it comes to their outfits, just like these lovely women who were all smiles for the camera. Unfortunately, some fans can be rowdy, just like in 2022 when FIFA charged the Serbian team and the fans for their offensive chant during a match against Switzerland. 

Egypt

We would understand if this gorgeous spectator from Egypt didn't feel happy about watching the game live because of a sheik's announcement that he would prohibit people from witnessing the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. To be fair, the transcontinental nation doesn't appear much in the competition.

Still, it is worth noting that Egypt was the first African nation to have joined the prestigious tournament in the 1930s. Despite its lackluster performances, officials are wary about massive games like this because of the 2015 event that caused a stampede. The unfortunate event killed at least 25 people, so it makes sense that they have become careful. 

France

Admit it, the sight of this goddess will shift the attention to her instead of the game. This is probably why FIFA diversity official Federico Addiechi urged the media personnel to focus on different spectators, not just women. More than her undeniable beauty, her bejeweled headpiece probably made her stand out from the crowd.

Was her inspiration the pope's headpiece called a 'mitre?' We will never know for sure, but the red hue complements her red scarf, one of the colors of the French flag. Speaking of the European nation, it has become famous for its Louvre Museum and Eiffel Tower. 

Portugal

Onlookers may have been stunned to see this stunning fan cheering for Portugal during Euro 2016. But most importantly, she may have been the team's lucky charm because they won the notable tournament. As expected, Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the driving forces behind this victory.

With this woman's fit physique, we wonder if she was also an athlete. Perhaps, she spent a lot of time in the gym to tone her stomach. Well, the Portuguese fan's hard work paid off because even international tabloids like The Sun featured her in an article about gorgeous football fans from different countries. 

Poland

"The wildest fans" was how The Daily Telegraph described the Polish fans during the 2018 World Cup. Interestingly, this was where Pope Paul John Paul II was born, and yet, FIFA slapped them with a fine of 10,000 Swiss francs because of how rowdy things had gotten with the supporters. At one point, some spectators even brought out offensive banners during the team's match against Senegal.

Still, the Polish fans didn't let this rain on their parade because they continued to cheer their country on its match against Japan. We do wish that these pretty girls didn't partake in the discriminatory act against another competitor. 

Slovakia

Slovakia is the right destination if you're looking to see largely untouched land and architecture. The government and its people have done an amazing job of protecting its ancient houses, just like those seen in Cicmany and the chateaux and castles. The land's simplicity can also be seen in its residents.

This woman, for instance, didn't seem to wear any makeup; yet, her flawless and dewy complexion shone brightly! Even though the nation doesn't always perform well in the World Cup, surely she and other Slovakians were ultra-supportive when the national team competed in UEFA Euro in 2016 and 2020.

Mexico

Never say never; this is perhaps what Mexico feels whenever the opportunity to join the World Cup arises. According to Sports Illustrated, the country has yet to bag its first trophy, only reaching the quarterfinals two times. Still, it has hosted the prestigious tournament twice, in 1970 and 1986.

Mexico City's Estadio Azteca also marks one of the two stadiums to have ever been the venue of the competition. As such, this lady still has a lot to smile about, especially since her nation has a lot of things to be proud of apart from its hospitality in hosting the World Cup.

Australia

Argentina, Uruguay, France, and Brazil are just some of the fiercest countries playing at the World Cup. And yet, Australia has come face to face and even beat some of these nations, which is why we know that they don't kid when it comes to FIFA competitions.

Its supporters have also shown the same intensity as the Socceroos. Speaking of which, the moniker is a wordplay of soccer and kangaroo, the official symbol of Australia. These animals are the largest marsupials on earth and have powerful hops, so much so that they can cover as far as 25 feet in one bound. 

Algeria

As the biggest African nation, Algeria is also famous for the impressive number of women who are attorneys and judges. The girls from this country are born differently because they seem to be destined for greatness all the time, just take a look at this snap of FC Constantine football player Imene Merrouche celebrating and cheering.

Taken during the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, Merrouche also plays for the national team. This speaks a lot about the diverse sports culture in Algeria, which first participated in the International Federation of Association Football in 1964, a few years after it became independent.

Croatia

There's no loud costume nor screaming colorful banners in this shot, but this photo seems to have come straight out of a shampoo commercial. This epic hair flip seems to be telling that she didn't pay attention to the opponent but rather to her home country of Croatia during the 2018 World Cup.

Croatia is also a country to watch for during this prestigious tournament. It qualified for it six times and has since reached the podium at least three times. So as we can see, this woman knows that her nation is hard to beat in the World Cup. 

Uruguay

Is this a beach party or something? Kidding aside, these fresh-looking women definitely looked like they were having too much fun cheering for their team. Although they seem to be wearing casual beach clothes, the colors blue and white are a nod to the Uruguay flag, which consists of stripes and a yellow sun.

These women were probably glad that their home country produced some of the most notable football players, such as Luis Saurez, whose work with Liverpool elevated his status. Center forward Edinson Cavani is regarded as one of the best Uruguay athletes today because of his ball control.

Poland

The 2018 World Cup was one for the books because it was when France beat Croatia in an epic match. Still, most people will probably remember this walking goddess cheering for Poland from the benches. She may be enough to steal the scene, but of course, her home country also has a lot to offer.

Poland has qualified for the tournament nine times, including the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Unfortunately, the national team has yet to find its momentum after winning bronze medals in the '70s and '80s. Well, at least we can say that the Central European nation has some of the most beautiful supporters we have seen.

Netherlands

The Netherlands flag we know today has red, blue, and white, so why is the color orange always credited to the country? Well, it makes sense because the Dutch are known for their love of this bright hue, which is associated with the members of the royal family of the House of Orange.

This is also why athletes don bold orange kits during sporting events, including the World Cup. Unfortunately, there was hearsay that the players would soon exchange this hue for blue, but it would be difficult to recognize them on the field if that happened because many other national teams also have blue uniforms. 

Russia

Women supporters at the World Cup have immense ideas on how to take Instagrammable snaps behind the scenes. Take this gorgeous woman, for instance, who even brought her own ball to the match to complete her picture. Who knew Russian fans could be mistaken for celebrities, right?

At the same time, there has also been a rise in interest in women's sports. According to Nielsen, 84 percent of the respondents from Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, and Spain expressed curiosity about girls' sports. Of the target market, 45 percent said they were willing to watch the matches live. 

Denmark

Dedication is all we can think about when we say these women going all out with their drums and matching costumes to witness their national team try to best out other countries. Come to think of it, Denmark is a nice place to live in if greenery and safety are considered.

According to the website, the country has around 12,000 kilometers of bike lanes, so commuting is quite standard. On top of this, 41 percent of its energy comes from the wind. We surmise that these fans also weren't late to the event because Danish people are known for their punctuality, especially during dinners and meetings.

Ecuador

Seeing double? Us, too! With the same uniforms, sunglasses, headgear, and beautiful smiles, anyone would do a double take on these fans, who cheered for Ecuador. Despite being a tiny country, its rich biodiversity makes up for it. It is also the only country to be named after a geographical feature, the equator.

Ecuador is not just home to these gorgeous ladies; it also boasts equally mesmerizing flowers, hence its moniker "Orchid Capital of the World." In fact, Metropolitan Tourist explained that there is a special kind of orchid in the shape of a monkey that grows there! More interestingly, it smells like orange when in full bloom. 

Germany

Germany didn't have the best 2022 because it failed to win against Costa Rica, which surely disappointed fans and analysts. As a juggernaut in the World Cup, the unceremonious exit sort of mirrored its 2018 loss to Russia, leaving a bitter aftertaste in its citizens.

The shock wasn't surprising at all; we are talking about a four-time winner here. As such, fans like this woman really tend to shell out to travel just to witness historic matches, as well as dress (or undress) as eye-catching as possible. Here is to hoping that the country moves past the group stage next time.

Italy

Italy's flag is composed of red, green, and white stripes to signify charity, hope, and faith respectively. It is called Il Tricolore, celebrated on January 7, and was said to be inspired by the French flag. On top of this, the nation also boasts ultra-supportive World Cup fans that are known as Tifosi.

Italy is also considered one of the most successful countries in the World Cup, winning four titles in the past, the last being in 2006. Bleacher Report notes that some of the most notable players to have come from this nation are Gianluigi Buffon, Luigi Riva, and Giuseppe "Peppino" Meazza. 

United States Of America

This is just a typical sight for Americans, but they may mistake this for a snapshot taken during the Fourth of July. However, these stunners were cheering for the national team during a World Cup tournament. They are quite passionate about the sport, so much so that they were said to have purchased the most tickets for the 2018 championship.

Unfortunately, no amount of cheer could have helped the national team, which Gregg Berhalter coached, when it lost against The Netherlands in 2022, bowing out of the competition in Qatar. And when they lost, the fans also couldn't hide the pain, as evidenced by pictures on the internet. 

England

Who wouldn't do well with these cheerleaders by the benches? Aside from gorgeous people, the United Kingdom is also known for its prestigious universities, Oxford and Cambridge, as well as some of the most influential people like Stephen Hawking and the royal family.

It is also where David Beckham, the football player who became a celebrity, hails from. The English people are also known to be die-hard World Cup fanatics because, in 2022 alone, they purchased 10K tickets for the Qatar tournament. It would be nice to have people cheer for the national team even during the moments they lose, including the time the United Kingdom lost to Uruguay in 2014.

South Africa

South Africa is so diverse that it has a couple of United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization-protected national parks and sites. This makes it one of the most visited nations in the world. Tourists also shouldn't be surprised to see many beautiful people walking everywhere, such as this woman.

However, this outfit wouldn't be permitted at the 2022 Qatar World Cup. Women were advised to bring conservative clothing, specifically those that cover the shoulders and legs. Even men were told to cover their knees and shoulders as a sign of respect for the culture of the Middle Eastern nation.
