AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A final allotment of 48,000 Euro 2000 tickets will go on sale on Tuesday, although they are available only to supporters in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Tournament organisers are offering the tickets for 17 matches, including two featuring co-hosts Belgium and two quarter-finals - one in Amsterdam, the other in Brussels.

There are also 1,900 tickets left for the England v Romania game in Charleroi on June 19 and a final batch for Germany's games with Romania and Portugal. The three group matches involving the Dutch side were sold out months ago.

Foreign supporters are able to buy tickets, but will have to travel to get them. 'For organisational reasons it is no longer possible to send tickets abroad by post now so near to the start of the tournament,' said Harry Been, Euro 2000's director of ticketing.

The final instalment of tickets represents 4.2 percent of the total of 1.2 million on sale for the tournament.

Euro 2000 kicks off in Brussels on June 10 and finishes three weeks later with the final in Rotterdam on July 2.
