Advance ticket sales are nearing 50,000 for an international soccer friendly between Mexico and Iceland at Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium on March 24.

Mexican national team spokesman Gabe Gabor said in an email Friday that the large number of advanced sales for the game in the 73,778-seat stadium indicates a probable sellout.

Gabor said about 45,000 tickets were sold a week before Mexico's friendly against New Zealand earlier this month at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. Mexico won 2-0 before a capacity crowd of 90,526.

Mexico will play in this summer's FIFA World Cup in South Africa. -- David Scott
