Connect Office 365 group to SharePoint Online team site

HiPepozzo ,
I have just tested this and the SharePoint site does not appear to be created unless you visit it.
From outlook click on the group and then click the following:-
Hi Andrew Hodges, thank you.
I'm sorry, I don't remember how they were created, but I can confirm you they have "Office 365" as type in group list. I also confirm that I don't have a SharePoint site corresponding to O365 group in the SharePoint Online admin center.
If I create a new team site it creates a new O365 group. If I create a team site (not linked to O365 group) than sharing site to an existent group as suggested by Norman Young not seems to be the right solution as the site keeps showing as a team site not linked to an O365 group. Also, but I did not checked, I think group calendar are not working for the "invited" group.
Hi Pepozzo ,
One last thing before I stand back and scratch my head a lot..
Did you check the new SharePoint admin centre as they will not show in the old one?
Kind regards
Andy

Yes, I'm using the new admin centre.
Also a weird thing is that I've some O365 groups that have their own SharePoint team site. But if I've 1 group with its SharePoint team sites, I've 9 groups without site, and I can't create it (and I don't want to re-create the O365 group).

Is that the confirmation email arrived after an user is added to the O365 group?
So I've to add my admin user to each group, receive the welcome email and then visit the SharePoint site?
Or I can do something from admin centre or with PowerShell to simulate this operation?
