England's friendly against Croatia at Portman Road in August has sold out.

The 19,000 tickets available for the game in Ipswich on 20 August were snapped up within hours of going on sale on Sunday.

"This highlights the huge attraction of the England team," said an statement on the FA website.

It is the first time Ipswich have hosted an England international.

The 30,250 capacity stadium will be the 13th ground to be used since the England team started travelling around the country because of rennovations to Wembley.

Croatia will go into the game on the back of a good run of form, currently occupying second place in their Euro 2004 qualifying group behind Bulgaria.
