RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- World football's governing body FIFA has made available an extra 42,308 tickets to the general public for June's Confederations Cup in Brazil.
The new allocation includes 3,166 tickets to the tournament opener between Brazil and Japan in Brasilia and a further 1,601 for the host nation's clash with Italy in Salvador, FIFA said on its website.
