This week marks the beginning of the 'first come-first served' ticket sales for the World Cup with less than 100 days left before the first whistle in the Luzhniki stadium goes off.
FIFA confirmed that 1,303,615 of the tickets were allocated since the ticket sale was launched in September last year.
During the previous random draw that lasted from 5 December to 31 January, 564 448 tickets were allocated with 65% of them received by the international fans.

While the lion share, almost 198 thousand, went to the local fans, the biggest squad from the overseas might come from the Latin America with Colombia, Brazil and Peru leading the board.
In the latest random draw sale almost 22 thousand tickets were sold to Peruvians and almost 16 thousand to Aussies with the Australia-Peru match ranking highest in popularity amongst Aussie fans.
Australia will meet Peru in Sochi on the 26th of June.
