Fans have bought 804 186 tickets for matches at the World Cup in Qatar later this year in the first phase of sales, soccer’s world governing body and tournament organisers Fifa said on Wednesday.

FIFA said interest in tickets mainly came from Qatar, the United States, England, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, India, Brazil, Argentina, and Saudi Arabia.

Tickets for the opening game on November 21 which will feature hosts Qatar as well as the final on December 18 were the most popular choices.

With only a few World Cup qualifiers left to complete, the majority of the 32 berths available for teams have been filled.

On Friday, the World Cup final draw will take place, with teams being divided into groups.

Fans who did not get tickets in the first round will have another chance to apply on April 5 during the “random selection draw sales period” on FIFA’s website.
