They are not exactly the same. Tournament implies a structured game schedule.
In what tournament all teams play twenty matches? It sounds more like a league.
Does this phrase comply with the V2 rule? It seems to me that spela appears very late in the sentence.
I thought ska wasn't a proper verb but a particle to indicate the future tense.
Well, it's a modal verb whose present tense "ska" is used to indicate future.
I wrote "games" instead of "matches" and was marked wrong - in a question shortly before Duolingo accepted both. In Canada and USA we don't usually refer to matches, we refer to games.
What is the difference between 'will play' and 'will be playing'? The latter seems more appropriate here. Why is it not acceptable, when the present continuous is often accepted elsewhere in the teaching material?
