Ticket sales for the Fifa Women’s World Cup are tracking ahead of predictions and the Football Ferns’ game in Dunedin is close to selling out, the tournament’s chief executive says.
While World Cup chief executive Dave Beeche did not have specific numbers for Dunedin sales, the allocation for the Football Ferns v Switzerland game was "nearly exhausted" and he was comfortable with how the other five games were progressing.
The World Cup starts across New Zealand and Australia next week, with ticket sales tracking well and preparations to various facilities almost complete.
