New Delhi, March 26 -- FIFA announced on Wednesday plans for a final round of World Cup ticket sales.

World soccer's governing body said over one million tickets had been sold by the end of the previous release between December and February and additional tickets would be put on general sale April 1 to the end of the tournament, which runs from June 11 to July 19.

The latest phase comes after FIFA president Gianni Infantino proclaimed in January that the demand for tickets was the equivalent of "1,000 years of World Cups at once" and all 104 matches at the latest edition Cup would be sold out.

FIFA has faced criticism over its ticket pricing strategy for the tournament, which is co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
