How to let client know who they are playing against?

We are using PlayFab Matchmaking and PlayFab multiplayer, and Server allocation was enabled in the queue.

When using GetMatch on client side, is there any way that client can know opponent's names? may be when each member first created the ticket, passing their PlayFab display name as custom data? then get the custom data afterwards?

or is there other ways that GetMatch Provides?

As the API GetMatch does not return the display name directly, yes, as you mentioned, passing their display name as custom data when creating the ticket, that is a solution.

If you would like to have this GetMatch API returning the display name, you could post a thread in Feature Request forum.
