JOHANNESBURG - FIFA says 100,000 World Cup tickets have been sold in less than two days as local fans make a late push to attend the tournament.

FIFA said Saturday that 14 matches were sold out, including the final, semifinals and South Africa's group games.

An extra 90,000 tickets, mainly returns from FIFA's sponsors, were added to the pool on Friday leaving organizers with 160,000 to sell just two weeks ahead of the June 11 kickoff.

The release was hampered Friday by computer glitches. But fans have flocked to the centers for seats to big games like the July 11 final, which were previously unavailable.

FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke said the tournament was approaching the 97-percent sales mark of the 2006 World Cup in Germany
