President of Croatia, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović cant keep to herself over Croatia win in FIFA! Read about it here!

• Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović like other football fans president of Croatia, can’t contain the excitement for the upcoming finals

Yes, the president herself could not attend the match against England but she did send her best regards to her team! And they send the English team home.

The first woman president of Croatia broke into a victory dance when her home team won against Russia on July 7. After the winning game, she surprised her players in the locker room to share hugs and congratulations. The quarterfinal game had occurred at the Fisht Stadium in Sochi. She had gained attention when she was seen cheering for her home team and people loved her sports spirit.

In the match against Denmark, she did not join the VIP box in the stadium but rather she watched the game seated along with her fans! She earned massive praise and respect!

Kolinda was quoted saying:

 “I wanted to showcase that I am a football fan, like everyone else; I wanted to support the team among other fans in the stands, I put on a shirt with national symbols, whereas the dress code in the VIP zone, which usually presupposes long gowns, wouldn’t have permitted such an outfit.”

She even flew economy class, ditching her VIP ticket! Yes, she flew with football fans from Zagreb to support her home team. The 50-year-old lady did wear a red formal suit but later took off her coat to show Croatia’s red and white check jersey.
