CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) \u2014 FIFA said Wednesday it has received more than 500 million ticket requests for this year\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n

Soccer\u2019s organizing body said outside the host United States, Mexico and Canada, the most requests were made by fans residing in Germany, England, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Colombia.<\/p>\n

FIFA is asking for up to $8,680 per ticket<\/a>. After criticism, FIFA said last month it will offer $60 tickets<\/a> for every game to the 48 national federations in the tournament, and the federations will decide how to distribute them to their fans who attended their previous games.<\/p>\n

It said the most-requested match in the third sales phase, which ran from Dec. 11 through Tuesday, was Colombia vs. Portugal on June 27 at Miami Gardens, Florida; followed by Mexico vs. South Korea on June 18 at Guadalajara, Mexico; the final on July 19 at East Rutherford, New Jersey; the opener between Mexico and South Africa on June 11 at Mexico City; and a second-round match on July 2 at Toronto.<\/p>\n

FIFA said it will notify people about their ticket applications no earlier than Feb. 5 and will allocate them randomly for matches in which demand exceeds availability.<\/p>\n
