JOHANNESBURG — FIFA says tickets are sold out for the opening and final matches of the 2010 World Cup, as well as for all possible games involving England, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Ireland and Netherlands. FIFA said in a statement Thursday that, with just over a year before play begins, the semifinals and all the matches in Cape Town, Nelspruit and Pretoria, the capital, also were sold out. Fans can apply for team-specific tickets giving them access to all the games of their favorite national team. If that team fails to qualify for the tournament, the tickets are refunded. Qualifying will end later this year. The first World Cup match is June 11, 2010, in Johannesburg. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
