Extra tickets secured for Irish fans for first leg in Denmark

The FAI has confirmed that it has secured a total of 2,305 tickets for Ireland's World Cup playoff first leg match against Denmark.

Martin O’Neill’s team face the Danes on Saturday, 11th November in Copenhagen, with a place at next summer’s World Cup in Russia at stake after the two-legged playoff.

The FAI had been in negotiations with the Danish FA in the hope of increasing the Irish allocation for the trip to Copenhagen to 3,800 - 10 per cent of the allocation - in return for a 10 per cent allocation for Danish fans travelling to Dublin.

The initial allocation of five per cent – set by Fifa – provides 1,900 tickets for Irish fans, but many more are expected to make the trip to the Danish capital.
