Turn off ability to create teams
We also have had a A1 plan with Azure Basic which should be included. It is difficult to setup the process but it should be supported to disable this feature.

We do not recommend to disable people from creating Teams as it takes away a lot of the value that Teams provide. Instead we would recommend to double down of user education -- and make users aware that the admin can see who created certain Team in case their is an inappropriate Team being created.

Thomas Binder take off those rose colored glasses yet?
Donnie Ewers anyone who thinks educating users instead of limiting access this has know clue how to manage a IT department.
organizing and having a structure that is clean for SharePoint is extremely important and this is a huge deal regardless of educating users or not.
its the equivalent to allowing anyone make distribution groups and when you grow in size, you have hundreds of useless teams groups made for 1,2,3 users that end up being used for a few weeks, days, or not touched for years
then you have to clean up a mess of stuff. this recommendation of just "educating" users is beyond stupid.
