How can I limit WordPress loop to 10 or 20 posts?

I am using the custom field plugin and i have made some custom fields in wordpress.

I wrote php to bring to the front the custom fields using the following code, but it doesn’t stop looping and I need only 10 or 20 times to loop.

So I want to change but I don’t know how.

<?php if( $banner_query2->have_posts() ): ?>
        <?php while ( $banner_query2->have_posts() ) : $banner_query2->the_post(); ?>
                
                    

<?php 
        $post_id = get_the_ID();
        
        ?>
        <?php
            $featured_matches = get_field('locations');
            if( $featured_matches ): ?>
                <ul>
                <?php foreach( $featured_matches as $post ): 

                    // Setup this post for WP functions (variable must be named $post).
                    setup_postdata($post); ?>
                    
            <!--             <a href="<?php //the_permalink(); ?>"><?php //the_title(); ?></a> -->
            

                        <span><?php the_field( 'customfile' ); ?></span>
                        <span><?php the_field( 'customfile2' ); ?></span>
                        
                    
                <?php endforeach; ?>
                </ul>
                <?php 
                // Reset the global post object so that the rest of the page works correctly.
                wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
            <?php endif; ?>
                    
                
            
        <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post(). ?>

    Seems like in wordpress if you add just break; in the end of the foreach loop works fine

    Its quite possible to terminate a foreach loop or any other early, by using break; so all you need to do is maintain a counter and when it reaches the magic number break the loop.

    <?php 
    $cnt = 0;
    $maxcnt = 10;
    foreach( $featured_matches as $post ): 

        // do your funky stuff

        $cnt++;
        if ( $cnt >= $maxcnt ) :
            break;
        endif;
    endforeach;
