Support for the national squad, Bafana Bafana, has intensified with tickets for the team’s last warm-up game before the World Cup against Denmark totally sold out.

The 30-thousand tickets for the Atteridgeville’s Super Stadium in Pretoria, also known as the Lucas "Masterpieces" Moripe Stadium, flew within 12 hours.

Meanwhile Fifa says the number of seats at the World Cup has jumped by 100-thousand to more than three-million.

Secretary general Jerome Valcke adds that 97-percent of the seats will be sold.

He says revised seating plans and allocations had created the extra spaces.

This means the percentage of seats sold could be slightly higher than at the finals in Germany four years ago.
