The Russia 2018 World cup has come and gone, but its memories live on.

In the 2018 World Cup, a lady stood out for the Croatian team. She was neither a player, coach nor an officiating officer. She ever smiling and cheerful and was the cynosure of all eyes. Who was this lady? She was Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic, the President of Croatia.

Kolinda was born in 1968; she is a graduate of English and Spanish literature, a holder of post-graduate degree in international relations. Kolinda studied at George Washington University, Harvard and John Hopkins University.

Moreover, in 2015 which made her 46, she contested the Croatian presidential election, won and became the president of Croatia. She is an ex-army commando and an ace marksman too.

This amazing fan of 2018 FIFA World Cup was the ambassador of Croatia to US between 2007 and 2011, later became the first woman to be the NATO assistant secretary general for public diplomacy. While in this office, she visited Afghanistan number of times to raise the morale of NATO troops deployed there. 

Most amazingly, She bought her own economy class ticket to Russia to cheer her national team to victory.

This number one fan put on Croatian Jersey and sat at the VIP box breaking all norms, mingling with spectators and hugging the players. During the presentation of the Medals and Trophy, she stood under the rain to hug all the players. What a leader!

I tell you, this wonderful Lady is an epitome of what a nation's leader should be; brilliantly, savvy and intelligent. She is an embodiment of excellence.

Ladies arise for a true Heroine we’ve ever gotten.

I Kimberly personally salute you Ma. The posterity shall rise to call you blessed.

Shine on Mama Presido.
