British holidaymakers and expats are being asked to look out for a pretty Norwegian teenage holidaymaker last seen at a Costa del Sol nightspot after her countrys World Cup win over Brazil.

Relatives of the missing 17-year-old have already reported her concerning disappearance to police and her worried mum has launched an appeal on social media. Posting a photo of the tourist, known only as Nikoline, she said around midday today: My daughter Nikoline hasnt come home since yesterdays football match.

She was last seen at Funky Buddha in Puerto Banus with some other young Norwegians. She is 175cm tall, blonde/bleached, and was wearing a long pink dress with an Arabic pattern.

"Please share. Thank you for any information.

Please contact me or the police. Nikolines mum posted her message alongside a photo of her daughter wearing different clothes to the ones she was out in last night, although new photos have now been published showing her out last night.

The teenager, who lives in Norway with her biological father, had been holidaying in the area since June 19 and had been due to return home today to attend a close friends birthday party. Her mum has told police she went out with friends in a bar in Calahonda between Marbella and Fuengirola before heading to Marbellas old town and then getting a taxi with a group of fellow Norwegians to the Funky Buddha club.

She is understood to have vanished while a female friend went to the toilet between 3am and 4am this morning. According to the last location of her mobile phone she was on Julio Iglesias Avenue near the nightspot, a busy road in daytime which runs behind the

Puerto Banus marina, around 3.30am but after that it stopped transmitting. Her familys last contact with Nikoline is believed to have been around 1.30am local time this morning.

Before contacting police in Fuengirola, Nikolines mum and her stepdad combed the port area for her without success. She told Spanish media this afternoon: Every time she stays out late, she tends to maintain contact with us.

Police could not be reached early this afternoon for comment. Well-wishers responded to Nikoline's mum's messages by saying they were praying for her safe return.

Disappearances like this are regularly reported in Mlaga province, but they are overwhelmingly resolved within a matter of days. Figures compiled by Spains Ministry of the Interior through the National Centre for Missing Persons (CNDES) show Mlaga province - which includes the Costa del Sol - records more than 720 missing person reports a year, the highest total in Andalusia.
