Please find my response : If you go to the azure active directory portal, in the groups and search for your groups, did you see the Teams there? - I cannot see Teams Option and its missing.

Get-AzureADMSDeletedGroup

If you try by powershell, is the error the same? Or more clear?

to create a Team to a group, first install

Install-Module MicrosoftTeams

then

Connect-MicrosoftTeams
New-Team -Group <Group id>

with the group id equal to the objectID of your screenshot

  The power shell option i show is in fact the same as clicking the "create a team" button in the admin.office.com or via Sharepoint but maybe the error message will be clearer, who know.
