EURO 2024’s hottest football fan has promised to wow England supporters with her raciest outfits yet in the knockout games.
Model and football fan Marta Barczok is backing Gareth Southgate’s men to romp home victorious this summer after her nation Poland crashed out in the group stages.
The glamorous star has been known to wear some eye-catching outfits at previous tournaments such as tall high heels, colourful tops and even a sexy retro Polish kit.
At Euro 2024, Marta is looking to outdo all her past looks and really steal the spotlight.
She told The Sun: “I have a special jersey, and I promise it will be a surprise. But I won’t reveal any details just yet!”
The influencer has attended various tournaments in the past including Euro 2016 and 2020.

Marta has been in Germany since the tournament kicked off and is set to stay until July 14.
She is hoping to watch her favourite player Harry Kane lift the trophy after backing England to finally conquer Europe.
Kane and co were just a trio of penalties away from winning the whole tournament in the rescheduled 2021 event before Italy managed to dash away the nation’s hopes.
Marta said: “My favourite for this tournament is England – I believe they have a real chance of winning and I expect them to go far.”

The Three Lions have already qualified for the next round before even kicking off for their third group stage match on Tuesday.
Although they have faced some huge criticism for ex-players turned pundits after two lacklustre performances.
They narrowly beat Serbia 1-0 in the opening clash before fleeing Frankfurt with a lucky point in their match against Denmark.
One of the biggest scoldings came from ex-striker Gary Lineker who labelled the Three Lions’ performance against Denmark as “s***”.
The BBC stalwart blasted Kane for his positioning during the draw as he called on Southgate to make a much needed change to the line up.
Kane fired back at the four-letter blast at a press conference reminding Lineker and co how England have “won nothing” since 1966.
Skipper Harry warned of the impact on the morale of the younger players and asked ex England pros to bear in mind that they also failed under the bright lights.
Marta also backed her star striker and described the criticism of England as “premature”.
She said: “I respect Gary Lineker for always speaking his mind without holding back. However, I believe his criticism of England at Euro 2024 is premature.
“England is just getting started, and in a tournament, earning points is what truly matters.
“In time, no one will remember how the games were played; the focus will be on the points earned and the success achieved.”
Pundits and legends lay into England
ENGLAND’s lifeless display in the 1-1 draw with Denmark left pundits and legends queuing up to take a dig at Gareth Southgate’s team.
Here’s the best of what was said…
ALAN SHEARER
“Awful performance, particularly after going up in the game.
“I don’t think one England player can look at themselves and say, ‘I’ve done my job tonight’.
“England were all over the place, far too sloppy in possession, gave the ball away too much and got caught too many times.
“There was no energy, no pace, no guile — Southgate is simply not getting the best out of England’s best players.
“It’s concerning and Gareth will get some serious questions.
“You saw England players lying on their backs — they look absolutely shattered but there’s no excuse for that.”
GARY LINEKER
The BBC host called the performance “lifeless and tepid”.
On Harry Kane he said: “He needs his manager to ask more of him. I would have expected that if I’d put in that kind of performance.”
RIO FERDINAND
“The players don’t look the same as they do for their clubs. It is a big concern.”
ROY KEANE
“Courage and bravery, we’re not really seeing it.
“There’s something amiss with the balance. Bellingham is waving his arms.
“This is a big test for Gareth. It looks like he’s overthinking things.”
JAMIE CARRAGHER
“My big worry watching this and for the rest of the tournament?
“England look absolutely knackered. They can’t get close to the ball.
“The surest sign of fatigue is dropping deep.
“Declan Rice is having to cover so much ground. No-one can convince me this is a strategy.”
JACK WILSHERE
“It’s strange that we have taken the lead in both games so far, yet instead of it settling us down and giving us the confidence to play, we have failed to take control.
“But what was most worrying was that Denmark had a clear way of playing — while we didn’t.”
Marta says the Euros always provide three things to make them such special times – excitement, drama and unforgettable moments.
She added: “This time, the tournament is in Germany, which is great since it’s close by and I can get there quickly, though getting tickets wasn’t easy.
“The atmosphere at the Euros is always electric, and I’m excited to be part of it again.
“It’s a great opportunity to explore some incredible German cities.
“And especially excited to visit Dortmund, home to the best stadium and most passionate fans.”
Marta is already looking ahead to the next Euros in 2028 which is set to be held in the UK and Ireland as she lives in London.
“It will be incredibly convenient and thrilling to have such a major tournament right at my doorstep,” she added.
