Hi,
IMHO, you should re-think the information architecture for your user, understand the use cases the have. For instance:
1) Why a Team per Country and then a channel per Department? Wouldn't it be better to have a Hub Site per Country and then for each department discuss if they want to have a Communication Site, a Group Site or a combination of both?
2) Depending on the department needs, you should advice the proper kind of SPO site accordingly. For instance, if the Department wants to collaborate on Teams, then it's a good option to advice to go for a Team Site. But what about sharing information with other departments? If that need arises, you should think on how to meet it: maybe an additional document library in the department site or maybe a full site just for sharing information purposes

Thanks a lot for your advice.- Having Hub Site for each site (country) for SPO will be great suggestion for the client.

- Another issue that client mentioned that they would like to create groups of users for which we would define automatic access rights.
By adding users to those groups, they would like them to automatically access some contents (or Microsoft Teams).
For instance:a “designer” automatically being added to the “designers MS Team” (when assigned to that group of users who are entitled to access the Team).
They have large complex structure in Google Drive and not just 3-4 countries but multiple countries. - Question: With this requirement of automatic access rights can be achieved? Do we have to use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/dynamic-memberships
and use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/enterprise-users/groups-dynamic-membership
Please advice,
