A record 55,000 tickets have been sold for the England Women's match against Germany but the Football Association has now closed further sales.
The match against the two-time world champions on Sunday, November 23, will be the first time the England Women will play at the new Wembley stadium.
Already, ticket sales for the game have reached 55,000 - a record attendance for an international for the England Women - but the FA said it has decided to stop selling further tickets because of limited London Underground services running on that day.
In a statement on Thursday evening, the FA said: "As a result of longstanding planned engineering works taking place on the day of the game, impacting transport options, we have sought ongoing advice on crowd numbers and have taken the decision to cap ticket sales at the current number.
"A significant increase in ticket sales since last Monday, where we were at 33,000 tickets, coupled with our ongoing review of transport capacity, has accelerated the capping of the game.
"To have achieved ticket sales of 55,000 shows just how big an audience there is for women's football and what a landmark occasion it will be for the women's game.
"There were limited options in the calendar for this fixture and the date remains the best opportunity to play world class opposition at Wembley Stadium despite the restrictions.
"By capping the capacity we can ensure that fans have the best match day experience possible in and around Wembley Stadium.
"We apologise to anyone who will be disappointed by this announcement, but taking into account previous similar experiences such as the England-Andorra fixture in 2009, where a crowd of 58,000 were present, we believe this to be a sensible decision based on the latest travel advice."
The FA pledged it will honour any existing bookings that are awaiting processing.
