The next sales period will end Nov. 28. Fans will be allowed to make purchases again beginning on Dec. 8, after the World Cup draw determines where and when each of the 32 teams will play.
Football fans applied for nearly double the total of tickets that will be available for next year's tournament, the first in Brazil since 1950. Organizers expect a total of nearly 3.3 million tickets to be sold, but only about one million were offered in the first phase.
One million requests were made in the first seven hours after the sales opened in late August, with Brazilians making about 70 percent of the requests, followed by Americans, Argentines and Germans.
Brazilian authorities are in Manchester to supervise the electronic lottery, which FIFA said will require "up to 1,000 individual draw procedures potentially taking more than 24 hours."
FIFA said that by Nov. 10 all applicants will be informed by e-mail or text message if their request was successful. Once the lottery has been completed, FIFA will announce how many of the one million tickets remain available for the next period.
"We know we'll be forced to disappoint a host of committed supporters, but even if we'd had three times the number of tickets, we'd still have fallen well short of fulfilling everyone's wishes," Weil said. "We'd just like to encourage the fans to have another go in the remaining sales phases."
FIFA said in a statement that it received applications from 203 countries, with the most sought after matches being the opener in Sao Paulo on June 12 and the final at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro on July 13. More than 720,000 tickets were requested for the opener and more than 750,000 were made for the final.
Each applicant could request for up to four tickets for a maximum of seven of the 64 matches.
