After Egypt qualified for the FIFA World Cup for the first time in 28 years, its fans are among the top nations 10 in the world requesting tickets for Russia 2018, reported FIFA on Wednesday. “Fans from Argentina, Peru, Mexico, USA, Colombia, Brazil, Morocco, Egypt, China and Poland all currently rank in top ten,” the FIFA statement read. As per FIFA’s rules, fans are able to apply for individual match tickets for all matches except for the opening and final match, as well as venue-specific tickets and supporter tickets. “In the event that the number of tickets requested exceeds the available inventory, allocation will be based on a random-selection draw procedure,” FIFA stated. Four days after playing Uruguay, Egypt will take on the hosts, Russia, at Saint Petersburg Stadium at 8pm CLT.
