The FAI has acquired extra tickets to cater for the most loyal Republic of Ireland supporters and brings the total of additional tickets obtained to 8,107.

With over 275,000 ticket applications made by Ireland supporters, the demand for tickets for this summer's tournament in France far outweighed the supply but the FAI has continued to campaign for extra tickets.

In January, the FAI secured 6,502 extra tickets for the three Group E games against Sweden (June 13), Belgium (June 18) and Italy (June 22). In February, 832 more tickets were made available to the Association, while another 773 tickets were acquired this week.

FAI CEO John Delaney thanked UEFA for their ongoing assistance in securing extra tickets for Irish supporters and added that he would continue to appeal for more from the governing body.

"It is fantastic news that UEFA have heeded our calls for extra tickets for EURO 2016 because it was clear from the very beginning that many of our supporters who were most deserving of tickets were going to miss out," said Delaney.

"The FAI refused to give up the fight to secure more tickets and we have been in regular contact with UEFA over the last few months. I would like to thank UEFA for recognising how important it is to have as many of the most passionate supporters in the world at these finals.

"I would also like to thank our loyal supporters for their patience and the FAI Ticketing team who have done tremendous work. We will continue to canvass for more tickets right up until our first game against Sweden in Stade de France on June 13."

A Ticket Appeals Portal was set up to identify the most loyal supporters who were left without tickets following UEFA's initial allocation process and the FAI were able to cater for many of the most resolute Ireland supporters through that.

The latest batch of tickets will be distributed directly to those loyal supporters who missed out on the Ticket Appeals Portal. There will be no appeal process for these tickets.
