Such things are usually accomplished using Apache's mod_rewrite (if your
web server _is_ Apache, of course). It works like this:

User asks for /teamname/ -> Server calls /foo.php?team=teamname
User asks for /teamname/bar -> Server calls /bar.php?team=teamname

Google for "mod_rewrite cheat sheet", it *is* confusing if you're new to
it.
