The German model Laura Abla, partner of Terrassa's Dani Olmo, has become one of the most talked-about figures at the 2026 World Cup for her original outfits in support of the Spanish national team.
Footballer Dani Olmo, born in Terrassa in 1998, is experiencing his second World Cup with the Spanish national team while his partner, German model Laura Abla Schmitt, is making headlines in the stands and on social media. The 28-year-old content creator has made her personalised looks in the colours of La Roja go viral during the World Cup.
A model with her own career
Laura Abla was born in Germany in 1998 and began her career in fashion by walking at Berlin Fashion Week, represented by Attached Agency. Her resume includes collaborations with luxury brands such as Dior, L’Oréal Paris, Guerlain, Dyson, and H&M, as well as fashion editorials across Europe. On Instagram, she has over 450,000 followers, where she shares content related to fashion, travel, and advertising campaigns.
Far from limiting herself to the role of a footballer's partner, Abla has made it clear in interviews that her priority is her professional career. “I don’t want to be known just for my relationship,” she has stated, explaining that she avoids commenting on football because it is not her area. She has even joked that her posts related to sports are part of her social media strategy, not a desire to become a commentator.
The gesture that won over the fans
During the 2026 World Cup, Laura has surprised everyone with personalised outfits in support of Spain. The most talked-about was a shirt featuring a photograph of Dani Olmo as a child, paired with an elegant outfit that garnered thousands of reactions on Instagram. She has also shared videos cheering on La Roja before the semi-finals, winning the affection of Spanish fans.
The couple's relationship began in 2023, when Olmo was playing for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. They made their romance official in 2024, and after the Terrassa native signed with FC Barcelona that same year, Laura moved in with him to the Catalan capital, where they currently reside. The couple maintains a low profile, although they share some moments on social media.
Olmo, from La Masia to global star
Dani Olmo trained at La Masia of Barcelona but surprised everyone by moving to Dinamo Zagreb in 2014 to continue his development. There, he established himself as one of Europe’s great prospects before making the leap to RB Leipzig, where he won two German Cups and one Supercup. In 2024, he returned to Barça and, with the national team, became champion of Euro 2024, solidifying his role as a key offensive figure.
As the World Cup progresses, Laura Abla continues with her professional agenda: in addition to modelling and creating content, she hosts the German podcast “Ziemlich beste Fremde”. The couple has become one of the most followed in the tournament, demonstrating that support off the pitch can also take centre stage.
For Dani Olmo's supporters in Terrassa and the rest of the province of Barcelona, seeing their fellow countryman shine at the World Cup with the backing of a partner who has connected with the fans is a source of pride. Spain's next match in the tournament will be closely followed, both for what happens on the pitch and for the details that Laura Abla may reveal from the stands.
