The number of matches that will be played altogether during this year’s Squareball World Cup tournament will be 99 matches.
- In the first stage of the tournament since the teams will compete in four groups of six, then there'll be 15 matches played per group.
- Since there are 4 groups, the total matches okayed during the group stage will be: 15 × 4 = 60 matches. Therefore, 60 matches will be played during the group stage.
