In a computer game, a player can choose to play as one of three factions: \( T \), \( Z \), or \( P \). There is an online mode where 8 players are divided into two teams of 4 players each. How many total different matches are possible, considering the sets of factions? The matches are considered different if there is a team in one match that is not in the other. The order of teams and the order of factions within a team do not matter. For example, the matches \((P Z P T ; T T Z P)\) and \((P Z T T ; T Z P P)\) are considered the same, while the matches \((P Z P Z ; T Z P Z)\) and \((P Z P T ; Z Z P Z)\) are different.
