' Thousands of Wales fans set for Euro 2016 disappointment as 52,000 tickets applied for tickets '
Many Wales football fans are likely to be disappointed after more than 52,000 tickets for this summer’s European Championships in France were applied for – far exceeding the allocation for the team’s matches.
Chris Coleman ’s side face Slovakia in Bordeaux, England in Lens and Russia in Toulouse during Wales' first major tournament for 58 years.
Governing body Uefa’s allocations for each match means there are 7,000 tickets available to FAW gold members for the Bordeaux game and 5,000 for each of the other two.
But the Football Association of Wales told Wales Online on Thursday that gold members had applied for a total of 52,160 tickets for those three games, plus conditional seats at any knockout games which Wales qualify for.
The window for gold members' ticket applications closed on Monday.
