In each group there are 4 teams; team 1,2,3 and 4.
Group no 1:
1 vs. 2
1 vs. 3
1 vs. 4
2 vs. 3
2 vs. 4
3 vs. 4
As you can see 6 games will be played per group.
6(the amount of games played in each group)x5(the amount of groups)=30(the amount of games played in total)
Therefore, each group will play 6 games and there will be 30 games played in total.
