Using posts as categories for another post type

Hi there,

I am currently working on a website for a football club. Within the club, there are several teams. What they’d like to have is a section with a short description of each team and another section for match reports. Each match report should be “assigned” to one team.

My first solution would be to add a custom post type “team”, and then for every team create a blog post (sub)category “Match reports/Team name”. However, I’m not entirely happy with this solution because the adding of teams now involves two separate steps: the creation of the team for the team descriptions section and the creation of a new subcategory within the “Match reports” category.

So, what I would really like to do is connect the post type “team” and the categories of another post type (be it regular blog posts of maybe a custom type “match reports”) together, so that the adding, editing or removing of a team will automatically update the categories for the other post type.

Do you think this is possible and if so, what would be the best way to implement this?
