The Argentine Football Association says its team will play all three group matches in July's Copa America in front of full houses after 70,000 tickets for the host nation's games were snapped up just an hour after going on sale.
The AFA says tickets to watch the likes of Lionel Messi were sold almost immediately after going on sale Thursday via internet.
Argentina opens the tournament on July 1 against Bolivia in La Plata, followed by games against Colombia on July 6 in Santa Fe and Japan five days later in Cordoba.
Argentina, currently coached by Sergio Batista, last won the South American championship in 1993. The team reached the final in the last two editions in 2004 and 2007 but lost to archrival Brazil.
