The Most Breathtaking Soccer Fans That May Have Also Graced The 2023 World Cup!
France
From Paris boulevards to the Musée du Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, it’s evident that France has a fascination with seizing the embodiment and beauty of things. Therefore, it’s not surprising that this supporter looked fabulous in her delicately adorned headpiece with a matching scarf. She made an exemplary color choice, complementing one of the tricolors in the country’s flag.
France is also the world’s most visited nation, mostly because of Paris’ international renown as the city of love. As wine connoisseurs, the French produced the priciest wine to date, a $558K bottle of 1945 Romanee-Conti sold to an Asian collector. In 2022, France failed to keep their defending title at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Slovakia
Slovakia is the best place for anybody who appreciates nature. Famous for its folk architecture, national parks, and hiking trails, the nation is home to numerous caves, some of which are sites protected by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Nevertheless, Slovakians and people visiting it can also relish in other things, like rallying for its national team at the FIFA World Cup. This is something fresh for them, unlike other nations, since Slovakia is among the newest national soccer teams in the globe after splitting from the national team of Czechoslovakia. In 2022, they were part of Group H with Croatia, Cyprus, Malta, Russia, and Slovenia.

Algeria
Algeria is renowned for multiple things aside from being Africa’s largest country. The nation is teeming with petroleum and natural gas, being a massive exporter of these by-products. Among other countries, Algeria’s national soccer team gives its locals the chance to cheer in the stands for their motherland.
Algeria made its way to FIFA in 1964, a little over two years after gaining independence. Its national team took home the title during the last FIFA Arab Cup and qualified for three more World Cups since its first 1982 qualification. Algeria wasn’t able to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, though.
Egypt
Due to its early departure from the 2018 competition, Egyptian supporters did not have much time to demonstrate the passion that they’re noted for, which even got them banned from observing matches in stadiums all over Egypt. Fans from the country still got to cheer for the Pharaohs during their last game at the competition against Saudi Arabia, culminating in Egypt’s loss.
Not dissuaded, the fans cheered for its Egyptian players to a six-nil win against Niger in their next bout at the World Cup exit. As of October 2022, Egypt placed 39th in the FIFA rankings, although they were absent from the tournament after losing its spot to play in Qatar.
Croatia
We don’t think any words would do justice to the Croatian fans that raised the spirits of their team in the 2018 World Cup. Then again, the Croatian team was able to beat teams from Belgium, Denmark, England, and Russia, going all the way to the finals, which says a thing or two about how competent men can be when faced with beauty.
Croatia didn’t win the World Cup. Nonetheless, battling it out with France in a final is a feat on its own for the humble nation of Croatia. In 2022, they capped off another outstanding World Cup campaign by winning third place.
Iran
Besides being the motherland of one of the world’s oldest civilizations, Iran has also become quite well-known for its art, architecture, and culture. Among its specialties is calligraphy, explaining why the body paintings on this fan are flawless.
The number ten was embellished on her T-shirt above the heart. This number was sported by Iranian soccer players Sardar Azmoun and Karim Ansarifard as members of the nation’s 2021 national team squad. Unfortunately, as per a December 2022 report by The Athletic, Iran was eliminated from the 2022 World Cup after losing to the United States by a score of 1-0.
Belgium
The moniker “Red Devils Association” by the Royal Belgian Football Association isn’t lost on Belgian soccer supporters since these fans are equally as proactive as they are attractive. Merge these fierce fanatics with a team consisting of players like Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku, and we have a well-oiled soccer machine adept at dismantling any team.
Of course, Belgium placing third at the 2018 World Cup wasn’t unexpected, nor was their first placement at the FIFA ranking. Seeing them ranking second in 2022, it’s safe to say that this national team is surely building up to be the one to beat.
