FIFA media officer Delia Fischer said on Wednesday that in view of the three different formats in obtaining tickets for he Confederations Cup, the exact number of sales for the Italy-Brazil clash had still to be formulated.
“At this stage, there is no confirmation of tickets being sold out of the Brazil-Italy game, in spite of the widespread rumours to this affect. Obviously, this particular game, along with those involving host nation South Africa, are attracting the most attention, with sales across the board going well,” said Fischer.
Italy against Brazil has always been a classic encounter through the years, with numerous memorable showdowns including the 1982 World Cup quarter-final and the 1994 World Cup final producing football and emotion of the highest level.
The two teams will meet earlier in 2009 for a February friendly international, but the Confederations group game will be the more exciting of the two.
Tickets for group stage games in the Confederations Cup can be bought for as little as R70, or €5 although escalating to R700 or around €50 for the more expensive seats.
The World Cup Local organising Committee CEO Danny Jordaan commented: “Nowhere else in the world could soccer fans watch Brazil playing Italy for R70 (€5)."
