Along with the rosters, the World Cup commitee has given us a copy of the schedule of matches! World Cup commitee head Kyle Jugson says that this is a very important Cup to help bring the Wizarding UK back to the financial forefront. "All preliminary matches will be held in the various professional stadiums of the British/Irish league, with the semi finals and final matches being played in a newly constructed stadium in the valleys of South Wales. The last time the UK hosted a World Cup, it ended in disaster. This time, we hope to end it in peace."

Tickets for the cup have been on sale for a few weeks, but this is the first time that fans get to see who exactly is playing the matches.
