Swathes of empty seats appeared after half-time in Friday's game between Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina, but steadily began to fill up.

More than 80,000 fans attended the Azteca stadium to watch the opening game between co-hosts Mexico and South Africa, and it was mostly Mexican fans in attendance at Estadio Akron for Thursday's later fixture.

While there was a sizeable South Korean contingent, there appeared to be only a limited Czech presence for the 2-1 defeat .

The Czechs qualified late in March and face a demanding travel schedule that sees them visit Atlanta before returning to Mexico City for their final group game.

Tickets for the tournament, held in Mexico, Canada and the United States, have been the subject of fluctuating prices and availability, with thousands remaining available for sale across several platforms.

BBC Sport has found tickets for matches involving the smaller nations are now available well below face value - across Fifa's own resale site and secondary marketplaces.

Travel and hotel prices have also escalated , leading to the suggestion fans are being priced out of the tournament.
