BERLIN (AP) — Organizers of the 2011 women's World Cup in Germany say ticket sales will start Oct. 29.

The organizing committee said Monday that the launch date for the first phase of sales was chosen to coincide with a Germany-United States match in Augsburg, one of the nine venues for the tournament.

About 1 million tickets will be available for the 32 World Cup matches. The tournament opens June 26, 2011 and ends July 17.

Tickets can be ordered through FIFA's Web site, www.fifa.com.
