"Team" or "the team" (dative case, singular).
In a sentence
Liðinu var lofað verðlaunum fyrir sigurinn.
The team was promised rewards for the victory.
In this sentence, "Liðinu" refers to 'the team' in the dative case, indicating the recipient of the promised rewards.
Við styðjum alltaf við liðið okkar í keppnum.
We always support our team during competitions.
Here, "liðinu" is not present, but if we were to rewrite it as referring to 'our team' in dative case receiving action, it would be similar in context.
Ég gleymdi að taka þátt með liði mínu.
I forgot to participate with my team.
In this instance, the word "liði" is used in the dative singular form as part of a possessive construct.
